Legend of Michigan Theatre Jackson Michigan:

The Michigan Theatre, the last and largest theatre built in downtown Jackson, opened April 30, 1930. The building’s exotic Spanish style, lavish interior plasterwork, terra cotta facade, carved walnut furniture, plush carpeting, heavy damask draperies, stained glass light fixtures, and oil paintings entertained the patrons as much as the attractions on the stage and screens. It was the first air conditioned building in downtown Jackson and offered a place to escape the summer heat. The Michigan Theatre of Jackson Inc., a not-for-profit Michigan corporation, acquired the building from the City of Jackson in 1993. The group continues to restore and operate the theatre, bring in classic films, art films, live theatre productions, concerts, meetings, and other community events.
