Majestic Theatre, Art Deco theater on Woodward Avenue, Detroit, United States.
The Majestic Theatre is an Art Deco building on Woodward Avenue in Detroit that combines multiple entertainment spaces within one complex. The site includes a main theater hall, a cafe, the Magic Stick performance area, and a bowling alley, all housed under one roof to serve different needs.
Architect C. Howard Crane designed this theater in 1915 as one of the largest cinema buildings built specifically for film projection at that time. Over the decades, its purpose shifted toward hosting live music and diverse performance events that became more central to its role.
The venue became central to Detroit's entertainment scene as people gathered for live music and performances rather than just films. Today it remains an active gathering place where different art forms and events come together, shaping how the community celebrates entertainment.
The complex offers multiple bars and entertainment areas that make it easy to spend a full evening on the premises. Different sections are arranged so visitors can move between spaces depending on what type of entertainment they prefer at any given time.
The building displays the largest enameled metal panel facade in Art Deco style found anywhere in the Detroit metropolitan area. This glazed, colorful surface makes the structure notably visible and distinctive when viewed from different angles.
