Music Hall is located in Detroit’s Theatre District. On the History page at the Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts they have some cool old photos and say:

Since Matilda Dodge Wilson opened Music Hall’s doors in 1928, our intimate downtown venue has been a significant player in Detroit’s performing arts sector. As the last remaining legitimate stage theatre, Music Hall is the only Detroit venue built for the primary purpose of presenting live performances. We have been home to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Michigan Opera Theatre, one of the nation’s first Cinerama screens, and a wide variety of quality performances that embody the diverse cultures of the world.

They seem to have the best schedule on their MySpace at myspace.com/musichalldetroit – yes, even 80 year old theaters have MySpaces – and you can see the location of Music Hall on the Absolute Michigan Map of Michigan.

One thought on “And No One Showed

  1. Ah, so that’s where I saw “This is Cinerama!” (in 1955, probably; I’d have been six).

    I still remember the wide screen, the in-your-face action shots, the sheer glory of the three-projector environment. The opening scenes were a rush.
