Theater on Harper at Van Dyke

[theresa]

Does anyone have any information about a theater building on Harper, just east of Van Dyke? The building occupies [[or did occupy) an entire city block. The non-theater portion of the building is being demolished.

The theater has a beautiful facade and lovely architectural features inside. Does anyone know its history? Will the entire building come down, and are there any plans for this block?

Thanks for any information. I saw [[and photographed) the building yesterday and there was no demolition crew there, but lots of rubble.
