WEALTHY THEATRE

A service of the Grand Rapids Community Media Center (GRCMC)

About Me

Wealthy Theatre, 1130 Wealthy Street, was constructed in 1911 for vaudeville and live theater, and later became a neighborhood movie house. Currently the WT is owned and operated by the Grand Rapids Community Media Center (GRCMC) and continues to expand, grow and thrive in the heart of Wealthy Business District, and as part of Eastown, Grand Rapids. Visit www.wealthytheatre.org for more information. Stop by anytime for a visit.
Wealthy Theatre has been recently upgraded with state of the art technology: concert-ready sound; robotic, remote-control, multi-camera, video recording on DVD; closed-circuit LCD Lobby monitors; brilliant digital projection on a new screen; and finally, a motorized grand curtain.
The historic Wealthy Theatre brings concerts, culture and conversations to the stage: see what's going by viewing our calendar below or for a complete listing visit: http://www.grcmc.org/theatre/calendar.php
