City Theatre is a 500-seat theatre in the Hockeytown Café building in downtown Detroit, Michigan. The theatre is the former site of the Second City Detroit, which relocated to the suburb of Novi in 2003. The City Theatre, owned by Olympia Entertainment, opened in its place mid-2004. The new theater is host to concerts and plays as well as comedy shows.
Famous quotes containing the words city and/or theatre:
“Hell is a city much like London—
A populous and a smoky city;
There are all sorts of people undone,
And there is little or no fun done;
Small justice shown, and still less pity.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“Glorious bouquets and storms of applause ... are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one’s own life.”
—Dame Alice Markova (b. 1910)
