About the Macomb Center

The Center has dramatically changed the cultural landscape of the area by bringing high-quality professional performers and instructors to an area that previously had few such opportunities. Residents of all ages, economic situations and ethnicities come to the Center to enjoy the friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. Students learn about the arts through our year-round education programs. The Macomb Center has long been a driving force in the cultural growth of the east side of Metropolitan Detroit. Ranging from Broadway to classical music and dance to comedy, jazz and popular performers, the Macomb Center’s season allows the community access to these regionally and nationally known artists in a safe, accessible and local venue. The Macomb Center hosts over 300 events each year including presented and produced events, rentals and community events; is visited by over 106,000 times a year by people attending performances and events; and provides 9,000 volunteer hours for community residents. Long‑standing partnerships with cultural institutions such as All The World’s A Stage and the Macomb Ballet Company enhance the Center’s offerings and help share resources and expenses in an effort to strengthen local arts organizations. The Macomb Center’s facilities include a 1,271-seat main theatre, Stage II presenting an intimate setting for 100-250 (depending on configuration), studios and rehearsal spaces. The Center is equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting and is staffed by experienced and trained professionals. Additional rentals and community events are held throughout the year.
