From its opening to the public in 1935 until its closing in 1985, the “stately art deco movie house” known as the Alger Theater provided Detroit eastside residents with artistic and cultural enrichment. The 12,000 sq. ft., 800-seat theater was convenient, affordable and a state of the art facility- offering family friendly live performances and motion picture features.
The nonprofit Friends of The Alger Theater is in the process of fundraising and planning for major restoration. The revitalized Alger Theater is intended to become the neighborhood catalyst driving new commercial, social and cultural development to advance a vibrant community. New tours commencing in spring of 2016 will provide a glimpse into the past, and more importantly, a vision for the future. More information is available at www.algertheater.org.
*Closed-toe shoes and casual attire recommended.
