Bonstelle Theatre, Neoclassical theatre in Midtown Detroit, United States.
The Bonstelle Theatre features a prominent dome, gabled wings, and architectural elements inspired by Roman and Greek temples at 3424 Woodward Avenue.
Architect Albert Kahn designed the building in 1902 as Temple Beth-El, which served as Detroit's main synagogue until 1922 when Jessie Bonstelle acquired it.
The theater transformed from a religious center to a performance space, hosting numerous theatrical productions and launching the careers of many actors.
Wayne State University operates this 1,200-seat venue, presenting four undergraduate theater company productions throughout the academic year.
The building underwent substantial modifications during the 1936 Woodward Avenue expansion, which altered its original front porch design.
