Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater combines living history with a singular dedication to the finest film and live entertainment available today. We offer two auditoriums: the Historic Theater and the Screening Room; find out more about each below. You can also take one of our illustrated tours. View the theater today after its loving restoration, and learn about its history and about a Michigan treasure: the Barton Theatre Pipe Organ, one of the only theater organs in existence that is still played in its original home on a regular basis.

The Michigan still shows real previews without 10 minutes of commercials.
The Michigan has a live pipe organ and shows silent movies with organ and live music accompaniment. The Michigan has the most diverse programming of any theater in Michigan.
The best popcorn, friendliest staff and it's a non profit institution. Thank you Michigan Theater!
