Landmark's Main Art Theatre

Like the city of its location, the Main Art Theatre offers something for everyone. Located in the heart of downtown Royal Oak, it is surrounded by a number of galleries, restaurants and other one-of-a-kind businesses that have come to typify this funky enclave. The theatre was originally built in the early 1940s as a single-screen theatre. As the face of Royal Oak changed, so did that of the Main

Art, embracing an eclectic mix of sophistication and fun. Today, the theatre features the Detroit area's finest selection of independent film and foreign language cinema. Each summer, the theatre hosts a midnight series, having offered new classics like The City of Lost Children as well as hometown favorites such as Evil Dead 2. The Main Art proudly serves Great Lakes Coffee, local Fair Trade and Organic. Free parking is available on the south side of the building. Additionally, there is a parking deck located on University St. and ample metered street and lot parking available throughout Royal Oak. Ask at the Main Art Box Office for a parking map, which offers both directions and suggestions. Sound Systems: DTS Digital - SDDS Digital - Dolby Stereo
