The theater screens mostly critically acclaimed movies or international movies. Classes are offered regularly, and family nights for kids are mostly free or cost a nominal fee. Directors of movies are periodically invited to speak to the audience. They have an annual Cinetopia International Film Festival, which brings a large selection of the best international movies to Ann Arbor.

This historic theater was originally saved from demolition because a small group of thoughtful, committed people wanted to change the world and save an organ (indeed, it is the only thing that ever has, as Margaret Mead would say). And what a gift we have because of them!
