Yeah it is. Grewal Hall is a new 900 person capacity club style venue that focuses on live performances, between that and Ovation we'll be back on the right track, there will also be a small amphitheater with permanent sound/lighting at Old Town's Brenke Fish Ladder opening in the next couple years. The city has also made a few moves over the years towards a large(ish) permanent outdoor performance venue in Adado Park, like a smaller version of what's being done in Grand Rapids, but so far no traction.
Hopefully the new venues will prove successful and can help Lansing can get that Adado venue off the ground in the medium term, then maybe aim for a larger performing arts center down the road a ways.
