Temple Theatre

Established in 1927 as a premier venue for the Shriners, the Temple Theatre remains a cornerstone of downtown Saginaw. Known as the "Showplace of Northeastern Michigan," this historic landmark features a meticulously restored Neo-Classic interior, complete with ornate plasterwork, crystal lighting, and a rare Barton theatre organ. Its location along the Saginaw River provides a scenic backdrop for an evening of entertainment in the heart of the city’s historic business district. Today, the theatre is a top destination for national comedy tours, offering an intimate yet grand setting for live stand-up. The stage has hosted legendary and contemporary stars alike, including Jerry Seinfeld, Chelsea Handler, and Gabriel Iglesias. From the high-energy improv of *Whose Live Anyway?* to solo sets from fan favorites like Charlie Berens and Henry Cho, the venue’s renowned acoustics and elegant atmosphere ensure a premier experience for every comedy enthusiast.
