After eighty-six years, the Grand Theater - home of The Road Company since 1976 - literally fell silent on May 14, 2010 when its roof collapsed, destroying the entire venue. This was a devastating tragedy for theater-goers throughout the Delaware Valley and, in particular, hit Southern New Jersey with significant impact - the 'home' that many actors, actresses, volunteers, and audiences once held close to their hearts, was gone. After evaluating the damage, it was discovered that approximately $250,000 would be needed, beyond the amount covered by insurance, to rebuild the Grand Theater, founded in 1924. Despite this daunting figure the ever-resilient Road Company family was determined to rebuild the theater and in doing so established the 'Make It Grand Again Campaign' fund.

When it was announced that the Road Company would take the initiative to rebuild the Grand Theatre, the South Jersey theatre community decided to join forces and help its fellow theatre group, the Road Company.
