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:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The theatre is the best way of showing the gap between what is said and what is seen to be done, and that is why, ragged and gap-toothed as it is, it has still a far healthier potential than some poorer, abandoned arts.”
—David Hare (b. 1947)
