1. Live performances (concerts, comedy, and theater) -The Granada seeks to have a regular schedule of concerts featuring top local talent as well as national acts offering a wide variety of music including rock, country, folk, etc. who are seeking smaller, more intimate venues to connect with audiences more personally, at a reasonable cost. MHGPS wants the Granada to be the epicenter of live music for the South Silicon Valley. Similarly, stand-up comedy nights and other live performance events will be pursued. Email us if you are interested in getting on our calendar!
2. Cinema -The Granada will be a great place to see movies. We have completed a retrofit to theater #1 with a 9.2 surround sound system and a modern HD digital projector to update the viewing experience to modern standards. We will run a variety of films on a regular basis including oldies, art films, special interest showings (supporting special events or groups), run film festivals, and show live streamed events of all sorts. In short, we believe the Granada can become the center of entertainment in not only Morgan Hill but in the South County. An "entertainment hub" that attracts people downtown, keeps people downtown, and therefore helps downtown businesses (dining, bars, shopping, etc.).
3. Community Service, Non-Profit Partners and Private “Rented Space” Events -The Granada team is in communication with churches to host Sunday services in the theater. We seek referrals to host special event fundraisers in conjunction with other non-profits in order to partner in helping them achieve their goals, have programming with a built in audience (promoted by the partner non-profit) and reach as much of the community as possible. We are planning to benchmark a Youth Empowerment program implemented by another non-profit theater company in order to offer internships and training to high school aged youth in Morgan Hill as well. The Granada may also be rented for business meetings, private parties, etc. Any computer-generated presentation can be shown on the ‘big screen’ and there is WIFI and internet access too. Contact us to take a tour or for bookings!MHGPS is dedicated to maintaining and operating the Granada via ticket & rental sales, concession sales, as well as donations. We are a long-term non-profit corporation and have formed strategic alliances with various organizations and businesses that will help or have helped to make the Granada a success. The Granada will provide a uniquely Morgan Hill experience tailored to our community. We are a small town and plan to embrace what that means for our community from a programming perspective. We intend to have a wide array of entertainment options housed at the Granada so there is something for everyone, always tasteful.
