We love this small movie theatre in downtown Traverse, on Front Street. The lighted 'stars' in the ceiling of the theatre are a representation of an August sky in Northern Michigan.

Another great theatre located right near the Grand Traverse Bay. Bijou and the State Theatre are "sister theatres" - this one with a smaller feel.
