Michigan Theater

Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater combines living history with a singular dedication to the finest film and live entertainment available today. The theater offers two auditoriums: the Historic Theater and the Screening Room.

Constructed during the silent film era when films were shown with live musical accompaniment, the Historic Auditorium is known, acoustically speaking, as a "live" house. The acoustics are perfect for classical music, one of the reasons we've been home to the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra since 1984. Additionally, guest performers love being on the stage because of its excellent natural sound.

The Screening Room allows the Michigan to provide a diverse program of quality specialty film, a vital part of our mission. Equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system, this smaller theater reserved just for movies allows the theater to expand its programming and offer even more of the contemporary foreign, independent American, and documentary films.
