Michigan Theater, a historic beauty in Ann Arbor, Michigan

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

The Michigan Theater is a lovely historic theater in Ann Arbor on Liberty near State Street which has been remarkably preserved and continues to get the support of the Ann Arbor community, while it provides a lovely glimpse into the past and what the theater experience used to be for moviegoers.  The organ playing was the norm in the old days and she is a beauty from the outside as well as the interior!

If you love the architecture of glorious buildings, look at the detail from the exterior of the building.  I am keeping the photo large so you can see the beauty in true form.Michigan Theater

 

If you would like to be a supporting member I would encourage you buy the CD which is available at Border's Stores throughout Ann Arbor.  It is a great CD of live performances artists who came to town and played live.  Great gift - great CD!  The profit goes to support the Michigan Theater; how great is that? 

 

Wonderful music for a beautiful landmark in our town!

This might give you a glimpse into why the Michigan Theater is so special.  The organ being played before a film.  What a treat!

Hi Karen!  GREAT Localism post!  I love the detail of the building--it just reminds me of the downtown areas from my childhood. 

You should also post this to the new group, Local History!  Here's the link:  http://activerain.com/groups/LocalHistory

Deb,  Thank you!  I didn't even know about this group.  Wow, I have a lot to add for this topic.  There are always so many wonderful additions to Active Rain and where you can post something.

Hi Karen! You didn't know about it because I JUST created it and, as a matter of fact, haven't announced it yet!  You'll be one of the original members!

Out of all the architecture types in the world, I think theaters are my favorite, followed very closely by the older churches.

Karen:  This is just too cool for words.  Having an actual organ in a movie theater is a touch that we don't see much... if ever.  I remember growing up in Cleveland, and several of the downtown theaters had them... and then I lived in Richmond, VA for a few years in the early 90's... and they had a theatre there, too, that featured an old-timey organ.  Their organ was on a rising small stage, and actually rose, and then the stage would rotate 360 degrees during the pre-movie playing.  I miss that.  Thanks for sharing.

Hi Karen... This is a special glimpse back to a simpler and more genteel time.  We need more of that these days!  Thanks for sharing.
