01 / The story of this place
Make time for these
The building opened in 1925 and was known for many years as the State Theatre before becoming The Fillmore Detroit. Historic auditorium decoration and the immediacy of a modern live show shape its character. Beside the Fox Theatre, it offers another example of Detroit’s former movie theaters finding new life as performance venues.
