The Story of the Badgett Playhouse – Find out what can
happen when a small community thinks big. The Playhouse Project
was conceived by the Grand Rivers Chamber of Commerce and the
Grand Rivers Tourism Commission. Their goal was to bring a
year-round attraction to the community. With the help of local
citizen Chip Tullar, the Tourism Commission found a young and
talented couple who wanted to expand their theater careers into
theater ownership. Utilizing a tract of land owned by the city,
the Tourism Commission borrowed the money to construct a new 285
seat multi-purpose building. On opening night the Badgett family
made a generous donation to the Commission and the theater was
renamed the Badgett Playhouse. The Badgett Playhouse was
designed and built to be the permanent home of the Variety show
and to provide wonderful entertainment for the community.
The Good Life – Is it our vintage charm, progressive
thinking, or pristine lakes that draw people to Grand Rivers?
Whatever the reason, people are on the move to Grand Rivers. New
home construction has added 35% to the Grand Rivers property tax
base over the last four years. Even our own Director of Tourism
left the big city life of Washington, DC to find the good life
in Grand Rivers. Find out who is moving to Grand Rivers and why.
