 Beautiful Old Theatre |
211 S Old Woodward Ave Detroit, MI 48009 United States +1 248 644 3456 |
Most of Detroit's suburbs once had theaters like this one, but few remain. Located in the heart of fashionable downtown Birmingham, the Birmingham Theatre has survived several renovations and reincarnations and is now an eight-screen theatre that shows first-run movies. The intimacy of the theater makes it perfect for a romantic date or just good old-fashioned fun with the family. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Contemporary art mecca |
39221 Woodward Ave Detroit, MI 48304 United States +1 248 645 3323 http://www.cranbrook.edu |
One of the area's most prestigious avant-garde art museums is located on the campus of the Cranbrook Schools. Acclaimed contemporary painters and sculptors are featured along with promising new artists, including students at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, in challenging and cutting-edge exhibitions. The museum's permanent collection highlights the accomplishments of decades of Cranbrook graduates working in many different media. This is a popular gathering spot for local artists and art critics and is the center of a vibrant artistic community. It's about a 40-minute drive from downtown Detroit and an hour from Metro Airport. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Eye-Opening Tour of a Shameful History |
28123 Orchard Lake Rd Detroit, MI 48334 United States +1 248 553 2400 http://www.holocaustcenter.org |
Founded in 1984, the Holocaust Memorial Center was the first institution in the United States to offer exhibits about the Nazi extermination of six million Jews in Europe during World War II. It's an eye-opening and breathtaking museum, offering a wide range of information and raising important questions about history. Plans have been announced to triple the size of the center by adding wings for the Museum of European Jewish Heritage and the International Institute of the Righteous, celebrating Jewish culture in Europe and the heroes of the resistance. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Community Theatre at its Best |
415 S Lafayette Avenue Detroit, MI 48067 United States +1 248 541 8027 http://www.stagecrafters.org/ |
Arguably metropolitan Detroit's most accomplished community theatre group, Stagecrafters operates out of the beautifully restored vintage neighborhood theatre, the Baldwin. It's located in downtown Royal Oak. On a main stage and a second stage, the group presents a variety of classic plays and musicals, with regular youth theatre performances. Organ-accompanied silent movies are also occasionally shown. It's an affordable alternative to grander theatres, and the performances are consistently good. Afterwards, you're in a great position to walk to a dining or drinking establishment on Main Street. Review © 2007, Wcities |
