The Michigan Theater is genuinely one of my favorite places in Ann Arbor. Watching movies here…read morefeels special every single time. Whether it's a new release or seeing classics like Star Wars, LOTR, or The Big Lebowski on the big screen, the experience is incredible. The theater itself is breathtaking too. Around 1600 seats, the balcony, the chandelier, and the nearly 100-year-old organ that rises up before the movie starts while someone plays it live. It honestly feels magical in a way that no modern theater does anymore. Even just seeing the marquee glowing outside at night feels iconic. The whole place has this timeless energy to it that makes going to the movies feel important again. Whenever someone asks me my favorite place in Ann Arbor, this is my answer.

The staff were so friendly and easy to talk to. The experience was really good as far as picture quality and sound. I recommend this theatre and it is now my go to movie house.

I love the State Theatre. The art deco style is beautiful and gives the place a personality you…read morereally don't see much anymore. The marquee on State Street is one of those sights that makes Ann Arbor. I appreciate the mix of old movies they show. It makes the theater feel alive instead of just another multiplex playing the same few blockbusters. The different theater sizes are nice too and the whole place feels very convenient, comfortable, and community-oriented.

OK, time to show some serious appreciation to our local indie movie theatres! In a time when so…read moremany are closing we're profoundly lucky to have them here in Ann Arbor (alongside the Michigan Theatre) and I admittedly have taken having them here for granted. No more! We've committed to going to see more flicks here. Just tonight we went to see The Phoenician Scheme and had the best time. Pros: * Convenience! It's right downtown and close to so many places where you can grab a quick bite before a movie (we opted for NYPD for pizza tonight). * Really good popcorn! And much less expensive compared to big multiplexes. Today we got a large popcorn and pop combo for a cool $11! It's a bit smaller in size than the bigger guys but the quality is great (very satisfying) and they use real butter, y'all! * Tickets are also not terribly expensive comparatively and, though they only offer a few films at a time, you can see things here they don't screen anywhere else in the area. Especially now that so many theatres have closed (RIP Main Art). State Theatre is a destination! Sure, they don't have the big recliner chairs, and I do admit I miss those, but there's something really special about that old school movie experience. Every time I come here I feel like a teenager again coming here to see Run Lola Run with my friends. It's a special place and I hope it continues on for more years to come. I'll do my part to make it so!

You get the theater all to yourselves and if they don't have a kids movie currently playing then you can bring whatever DVD you want and they will show that. The kids each get popcorn and a pop. We also had pizza before hand that the parents of the birthday boy brought in, they also brought cupcakes for after the movie. It was a very fun day! This had been my first time to this theater and it was nice! It feels like you step back in time a little to when there was no such thing as 3D and 20 movies playing in one place! I will be back for sure!

It has to be quite a challenge to play such public figures, especially in Gilda's home town! We were fortunate to be at a preview show which involved a Q&A afterwards with the director. It was fascinating to hear about how his vision came to life. The theater is very small, not a bad seat in the house. We will definitely go back for more performances!

Lovely theatre inside one of the UofM buildings. I had never been before so I got a little confused…read moretrying to find the place (it's on the 2nd floor of the building) and then when I did I discovered I had to visit the box office which was back on another floor to buy my tickets. The line was a bit long and I had arrived REALLY close to curtain so I was stressed but once I got to the front it was relatively painless. I sat in balcony and had a lovely view of the stage. The seats were fairly comfortable (I didn't even need to get up and stretch during intermission!) and I thought the sound in the space was fantastic. The decor is not ornate like a lot of theatres around here but it's still lovely and filled with a lot of beautiful dark wood detailing. Parking in the area can be kind of sticky but I did luck out and found a meter spot right next to the building. But don't count on that. There's a parking garage a little west of there. Leave early to give yourself ample time to park there and hit the box office if you don't already have your tickets in your hot little hand.

The Mendelssohn Theatre, is this place tucked away in the back of the UofM building. I've been here…read more4 times now and each time I wasn't quite sure if that was the place. Amazingly enough every time I went here I got a groupon discount for the opera or a play, so its always been a really good deal at something like 2 for $20. A great date night outing with your special someone if you happen to catch an event (or a groupon). Once you do find this place, it is a very beautiful theatre, with a strong 'well worn' feeling to its stage, the type of feeling that tells you "great things happened here!". The Opera's we've seen were all very enjoyable, and each time we had a blast. The last one however, had some issues with the guy manning the projector for the translation (italian to english). In some cases he would either be too slow, and then quickly skip through sections of dialogue and in other cases you could 'swear' that they spoke more than the 8 words being projected. Either way, overall a great experience. Technical difficulties happen, so I'm not too hung up about it, it didn't detract from the overall store of the Opera.

Starring: Frank-Tony Amato Peggy - Terri Turpin-Amato Jill- Cristian Labar Tony- Salvatore Sbrocca There was only one scenery, and the way the play progressed you'd felt like you went on their hike in the woods, traveled in the car and went to the office every day. Being stuck in the same cabin for the weekend? Whew- I felt like it could really happen!! How did they do that? Talent, and also their coordination and timing turned funny into hilarious!! Great set and and the costumes... the green polyester pants that Frank wore were repulsive and perfect! We'll done!
