City Theatre is a 500-seat theatre in the Hockeytown Café building in downtown Detroit, Michigan.

The new theater is host to concerts and plays as well as comedy shows.
Famous quotes containing the words city and/or theatre:
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The theatre is a gross art, built in sweeps and over-emphasis. Compromise is its second name.”
—Enid Bagnold (1889–1981)
