About The Garden Theater LLC
231-352-7561
The Garden Theater located in downtown Frankfort Michigan
was built in 1924 and from all accounts has been in
continuous operation since that time. In June of this year,
The Garden was purchased by a group of community
members with the intent of renovating the building and
giving life back to this Northern Michigan treasure. The new
ownership will continue to show first run movies and will also
expand with independent films, foreign cinema and Saturday
afternoon shows during the winter months. Live theater and
music could also be part of the future once improvements
are made to the existing stage.
The Garden Theater LLC members will spend $1000's to
upgrade the building and prepare for year round operation.
Prior to opening in July several projects were completed
including a new sound system(funded in large part with gifts
from members of the local community), ladies restroom
renovation, electrical upgrades, roof repair and a good ol'
fashion deep cleaning. In the fall a new heating system will
be installed to prepare for year round operation.
Future projects will include new seats(watch for the
campaign), digital projection, concession area upgrades and
many smaller projects too numerous to mention.
If you are interested in learning more about the future of The
Garden or wishing to be part of the upcoming Seat Campaign
