The Towsley Society recognizes cumulative gifts to the theater of $5,000 in honor Margaret Dow Towsley, a very special woman who inspired generations with her spirit of community philanthropy.
For a gift of $1,000 choose to have your name or the name of a loved one engraved on a plaque and attached to any available seat.
Gifts to operations help us to open our doors every day and to offer the best mix of arts programming in southeast Michigan in a beautiful setting. Because the Michigan Theater is a historic landmark, we have many unique expenses.
I would like to give a 100% tax deductible non-membership gift through a secure online form.
Some basic costs of operation include:
$50
......................
a new letter for the marquee
$145
......................
cost of paying our ticket-takers and popcorn-poppers for one evening
$195
......................
cost of lighting the theater, including the marquee and its many bulbs, for one regular day of operation
$300
......................
maintenance on the Barton Organ for one month
$500
......................
weekly basic cleaning of the facility
$1,000
......................
one new projector bulb
$1,000

All gifts help keep the Michigan Theater open and looking
beautiful - and most are tax-deductible, too! If you would
