One Venue. A Century of Stories

Nestled in Detroit’s historic Brush Park, the Bonstelle Playhouse stands as a century-old landmark of culture and creativity. Originally built in 1903 by architect Albert Kahn as Temple Beth El, this domed synagogue transformed in the 1920s into one of Detroit’s most celebrated performance venues, continuing today as a beacon of artistry and community in Midtown.
