The Little Gem Theatre is not only home to theatre acts and entertainment but also fine dining and special events. The Theatre has hosted SIX of Detroit's top ten longest-running shows in history, including Menopause The Musical which ran for an incredible two years, nine months. The theatre was in the national spotlight during Super Bowl XL when Jimmy Kimmel LIVE broadcast from the Gem & Century all week long. From a night on the town to a spectacular event, the Little Gem Theatre truly is the Gem in the heart of Detroit's entertainment district.

Hello Everyone,

This is a truly a Gem in the City of Detroit. My Lady and I love coming here and enjoy everyone welcoming us to the performances. Our seats were great we could see everything and really enjoyed the play.

It is nice that you can dine next door before the show and have drinks on the patio with great music playing for you. Just taking in the atmosphere the Gem is such a unique part of Detroit City in a small quaint area, it is relaxing and a great time spent by all.

Nicole at Salon 501 in Ferndale referred you to us, and by the way which is another nice city!

Nicole mentioned to us that she loves going to the “Little Gem Theater” and we had to make plans to see and go there ourselves, Nicole was right the Gem is a great place!

We shall return, Thanks for all the nice hospitality you offered us.

With appreciation to Nicole for recommending the “Little Gem Theater”, we will return to both.

Big Daddy & my Lady

The best little theatre in Detroit. Professional performances at community theatre prices. Easy to get to from the suburbs. The staff is professional yet very, very helpful. These folks never say "no", but "how" and all have winning manners! Bravo to whomever does the training.
See this place, you will have a great experience.

I love the venue at the Gem. I love the beauty of the old building and the coziness of the theater. I love the fact that you can have a fabulous meal and be throughly entertained all in the same place. It's even priced reasonably. I go several times a year.

I was there for my mom's birthday and the manager went out of his way to make things wonderful for her 79th. The people who work there are great too. The food is delicious. A great combination of food and entertainment. Congrats!

I love the closeness between the audience and cast . The venue is small town within a big city. It's cozy and I always leave with a warm feeling...not to mention a little dancing to the beat!

The size of the theater insures that everyone in the audience is actively involved...it's rare you hear snoring here.

It is really two theatres in one and they preserved that delightful building by moving it. One can have refreshments during the performances.
