Welcome to the Historic Ramsdell Theatre, in Manistee, Michigan. The Theatre is located on the corner of First & Maple in the Manistee Business District.
The Ramsdell Theatre in Manistee, Michigan has been an architectural landmark since it first opened in 1903. It is a Michigan Historic Building whose architect was Solon Beman who designed Pullman, IL. It still serves as a cultural center for Western Michigan and as a destination for tourists interested in historic buildings.
After years of use and some benign neglect, the building needed major attention. In the 1990s, as the city began to emphasize its Victorian heritage, a group was formed to guide a major restoration of the theatre, and the ballroom side of the building. Over the years private donors, businesses, social and service organizations and patrons have helped match grant monies to bring this treasure back to its original beauty. Close to 4 million dollars has been raised. There were also several major gifts-in-kind repairing and restoring woodwork and lighting fixtures. James Earl Jones, who began his career on our stage, has returned twice to help raise funds.
The theatre and attached exhibit hall and ballroom have been restored as well and are now used year round for Civic Theatre productions, ballet performances , symphony concerts, traveling performances, weddings, proms, business events and art exhibits. An elevator has been added to provide comfortable access to all. An endowment fund to maintain and preserve the restoration has been established. Under the guidance of a Governing Board, the future of this historic treasure is being assured.
