A classic movie palace built in 1928, the Michigan Theater served the Ann Arbor area for some fifty years before falling into disrepair. In 1979, a group of courageous citizens recognized the theater’s historic significance and saved it from the wrecking ball, and today, through the tireless efforts and generosity of its champions, this grand old theater is fully restored, serving the community with a diverse and innovative program of specialty films and live events. Through exceptional civic leadership, this downtown landmark has taken its place as Ann Arbor’s cultural cornerstone.Visit michtheater.org for more information and current schedule.
