The Boiler Broke!

Keep the Senate Warm This Winter!

The 90-year-old Senate Theater's 30-year-old boiler has boiled its last.

Your generosity will keep the Senate Theater warm and cozy this winter for patrons of southwest Detroit's neighborhood movie house.​​

​Heating a 8,300 square foot historic theater is no mean feat and after 30 years the ol' girl finally kicked the bucket. The good news is the new boiler (or boilers) will be much more energy efficient! The bad news is that boiler removal, purchase, and installation is REALLY EXPENSIVE.​​​​

Your donation of ANY AMOUNT will pay for keeping the Senate warm while the new boiler is installed and for many winters to come!
