Phillipe O'BrienMarch 3, 2016The Michigan Theater is a treasure of Ann Arbor. Great environment to watch a movie. Only two screens and they mostly show independent movies but I am happy with that!- SundanceTVJuly 13, 2012Price, acoustics and architecture are pretty flipping right on for a small artsy theatre. For $5 you can get a yearly membership, allowing you to buy wine & Bells beer!
Aaron CruzJuly 30, 2014Built in 1928. Fun to just walk around or within, go there to see a independent film, stage production or concert.
Melissa KirkApril 16, 2013There is a fairy door to the right of the ticket counter and it has a movie running behind it. :)
- Delicious popcorn and a beautiful interior design! I attend a movie at least twice a month!
- iSPYMagazineAugust 30, 2011Michigan Theater is a part of Sundance and during the festival, they'll hold special screenings of some of the best independent films. Keep a look out for them.
If you love movies, consider getting a gold card. For $250 a year, you get free movies, popcorn, parking and support the theater.
Brandi Carlile has been returning every year, always a spectacular show. Ray LaMontagne and the Goo Goo Dolls are other favorites I've seen at the Michigan Theater.
Ghostly InternationalJuly 19, 2011Gorgeous interior, great location and the films are always on point. Fantastic experience all around.
Check out the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker series. Great lectures and presentations by interesting people.
Ann MontgomeryOctober 4, 2011Get cheaper coffee at bigby next door. They allow you to bring this brand into the theater.
Kristen OlsenNovember 27, 2015Come out the day after Thanksgiving to watch classic Warner Brothers cartoons.
Get a membership (they have a discounted one for students) then you can buy and drink beer here during movies. Read more
I'm always cold no matter which room I'm in - bring a sweater, ladies.
