Presented by the Brown Grand Players – Community Theatre
For the Brown Grand Theatre’s 118th Birthday celebration, the Brown Grand Players are proud to present “The Mousetrap” by Agatha Christie, Directed by Mikki Nelson September 19-21 at the Brown Grand Opera House in downtown Concordia.
After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.
Tickets will be sold at the door and 100% of the ticket sales will help support the Brown Grand’s capital campaign for new lighting and sound systems, as well as a new cyclorama.

Palmquist Rexall sign celebration
2025-09-20 14:00 | Cloud County Historical Society Museum, 635 Broadway, Concordia, Kansas
Palmquist Drug Store

The lights are on again! And you should see her glow! Not bad for over 60 years old! Don’t miss the dedication of the placement of the Palmquist Rexall sign in the Cloud County Museum. Come for refreshments Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 2:00 in the afternoon.

The celebration is in honor of a legacy that has thrived through three Palmquist generations. When fire ravaged the corner drug store in 1988, the people of Concordia refused to let that sign come down offering a temporary location and even supplies from competitors, enabling Palmquist’s to be back filling prescriptions in three days. Now that is a community!

Less than a half century earlier, Elmer Gustav Palmquist had returned to his hometown to meet the challenge of owning his own Rexall Drug Store in 1945. After all, he had traveled throughout Nebraska becoming the top Rexall salesman in the nation. “Why don’t I put these brilliant ideas-like the Rexall 1-cent sale—to work in my own drug store?” He purchased Schmelling Drug Store and, with a dedicated staff, began to build customer loyalty.

Twain for Twainiacs

“Twain for the Twainiacs” featuring Ken Church
FREE Fall Fest Event
Saturday, September 27, 2025 at 11:00AM and 1:00PM
Presented by the Brown Grand Opera House
On Saturday September 27, 2025 the Brown Grand Opera House will present Leavenworth, Kansas actor Ken Church in “Twain for Twainiacs.”
Ken Church is a seventy-three year-old retired English, Speech, and Drama teacher who taught in Kansas schools for forty-one years. Church’s first teaching job was in Concordia in 1974. Church will present two forty-five minute performances during Fall Fest. The first will take place at 11:00AM – following the parade and the second performance will be at 1:00PM. There will be a time for questions and discussion after each performance. It will be the fourth time Ken Church has performed as Mark Twain on the historic stage at The Brown Grand Opera House. Church’s last performance there was nine years ago when he gave a performance for The Cook Lecture Series.
Ken Church has been performing as Mark Twain since 1972. One might say that I have ‘aged into the part!’” Church says. Ken Church first performed his show at The University of Kansas at Stephenson Scholarship Hall for a political fundraiser in October 1972. Originally, the show was called “A Mark Twain Portrait.” Of his show, Church says: “My goal is to do all I can to allow each listener to feel as though Mark Twain is speaking just to him or her.” The question and answer session at the conclusion of the presentation is an opportunity for audience members to pose questions to the performer or to the character.
These two performances are free, but donations will be welcome to help support the Brown Grand’s Capital Campaign, “Giving Voice to the Past, Illuminating the Future.” The Brown Grand will also have a booth with information about the theatre in front of the building during Fall Fest. Come see us and join in the fun!
