120 Years of the Ramsdell

In 1903, the Ramsdell Theatre of Manistee was built, joining the ranks of the architecturally stunning opera and vaudeville houses of the era. It has stood as a symbol of the arts for 120 years with countless performances held on its stage. You can experience the history of this beloved building Jan. 3 through Jan. 6, when a special exhibition is open in the Hardy Hall Gallery showcasing the history of the Ramsdell’s collaboration with the Manistee Arts Institute, the Manistee Civic Players, and many other artists, performers, actors, and devoted volunteers. An artists’ reception concludes the exhibit on Saturday, Jan. 6. That same day, you can also catch Verdi’s Nabucco on the theater’s big screen at 1pm as part of the 2023-24 Met Opera Live in HD season. (Tickets $15-$25.) Learn more at ramsdelltheatre.org/art.
