The red velvet seats cradle your new date with just the right touch.  The gilded lobby says "You’re worth it" in 1,000 ways. 
 
The Michigan Theater is the place to go on a first date and readers of Detroit's Metro Times have confirmed it in the 2008 Best of Detroit readers' poll results announced this week in the entertainment weekly.
 
Ann Arbor's own glorious 1928 movie palace is dressed to impress - but the price is modest given the many amenities.  The best popcorn in the state, if not the entire Great Lakes region, costs a pittance compared to a fancy dinner served by a waiter with a PhD at a downtown restaurant - and it's better for you. 
 
All this and more for only $9 a person - unless you're a student or a Michigan Theater member, in which case it's even more affordable.
 
Try it for yourself the next time you're planning a first date - or just want to treat the current loved one.  Please visit the Michigan Theater web site for more information and a complete schedule with show times: http://michtheater.org.
 
Admission is $9.00, $7.00 for students, seniors and US veterans, $6.50 for Michigan Theater members.  All shows take place at the historic Michigan Theater, 603 E. Liberty Street, across from Borders Books and Music in downtown Ann Arbor.
