Developer Chuck Forbes meticulously restored this 450-seat, 1926-vintage theater in the early 1990s, recreating its intricate proscenium panels and original carpeting. The theatre, a part of the Century Club building, has a long and checkered history. The first foreign film to be shown in Detroit was screened here and later it hosted vaudeville and burlesque shows. After the Gem’s restoration and reopening, the Century Club and Gem seemed doomed, because they were in the path of the new baseball and football stadiums. To save it, it was carted five blocks away in 1997 the heaviest building ever moved on wheels. Now it hosts intimate local shows, such as Jeff Daniels’ Escanaba in Da Moonlight. It’s a real gem of the Theatre District.
