Worth the Wait: The Bonstelle Theatre

Be the first to see the newly renovated Bonstelle Theatre during our spring fundraiser!

Join us for an unforgettable evening in a beloved Detroit landmark.  Opening in 1903 as the home of Temple Beth El, since 1924 this Albert-Kahn-designed gem has seen some incredible performances.  After extensive restoration by The Roxbury Group, it reopens this spring as a stage and venue.  And you have a first look!

Enjoy complimentary valet parking, delicious light fare (vegetarian and fish) and desserts, an open wine bar, behind-the-scenes building tours, a raffle, and a live auction.  Business casual attire.  This will be a night to remember!

Space is limited to 150, and we expect this event to sell out.
