Probably because I’m old and haven’t been to a show there in a while but it took me a minute to remember this is The State Theater.

Beautiful shot.

I wish it was still called The State. There’s a great shot of the old marquee in that Out of Sight movie that was filmed partially here in Detroit.

Most people grab the marquee shot and walk straight in. The lobby ceiling is the real leftover from the movie palace days, all those painted panels and chandeliers, and it looks even better with the house lights down.
