Beautiful old theater in downtown Saginaw. There's a grand feeling to this place. The lobby has double staircases, marble, crystal chandeliers. Even the restrooms are pretty - and really big. Within the theater, there is ornate gold detailing on the ceiling. Plays, musicals, concerts, and other such events take place here on a regular basis, but the Temple also screens movies. During the holiday season they are screening seasonal movies - what a fun place to watch something festive.

Was given the opportunity to play sound dude not too long ago for a traveling musical here. This is a beautiful room. If you want to hear a feel good story check out the website as they tell a nice story how this room became a great asset to this community. http://templetheatre.info/ TT is attended to by some people with beautiful minds. They have an incredible stage and there is no bad seat anywhere. For performers the green room area is clean with ample mirrors to do the work. BOH crew are top notch and know the business. Acoustics are pretty live here. Lighting and Behringer x32 soundboard in the back of the room provide clear sight lines, though be prepared to walk the room as acoustics change every few feet. Highs get cut off due to the balcony overhang so even if it sounds good from the backrow, prepare to cut your highs even more as you approach the stage. The ipad X32 app is well in play here and it will take a bit to get things dialed in. They have a full service concessions stand with your whiskeys and beers and popcorns too!

Beautiful theater but leaving the stalls in the bathroom (over 20) without any toilet paper., is shameful. Four stars for the theater and the production but "zero" stars for the lack of personal attention.

Absolutely beautiful facility with super friendly and helpful staff. A true gem to see a concert or any performance art.

While we see shows regularly in Detroit, we figured this was no further in the opposite direction to enjoy a production.

We had a 9:45 pm showing on a Friday night and were running late. Around 9:50 pm, I stood at the…read morebar waiting for someone to come over, hoping to get a drink. After a minute or two, an employee, who I later found out from another employee was a manager named Georgia I believe, came over and started doing something at the bar facing away from me while I stood there waiting. She briefly looked back, made eye contact with me, and then returned to what she was doing without saying anything. I didn't initially think much of it, as there is rarely someone always stationed there. You usually just wait for someone to notice and come over. When she finished what she was doing, she turned around and asked, "Did you want something from the bar? I just closed it for the night." I assumed that meant ordering was still possible, so I responded, "Yes," to which she replied, "Well, I just closed it for the night." The interaction was confusing and not very pleasant. I ended up sticking to just pop and we proceeded into the theater. Later, around 10:30 pm, I went back out for a popcorn and drink refill but was told that the popcorn machine had shut down at 10:15 pm, so I returned to my seat with an empty bucket. I checked and saw that every movie showing that day had its last screening around 10 pm. Based on this, I assume the policy is to shut down popcorn 15 minutes after the last showing begins and to close the bar whenever the manager feels like it. That's an interesting way to run a theater, especially on a Friday night. We were the only people in our theater, and I couldn't help but hope that everyone else made a better choice by going to Saginaw or Birch Run for an Emagine or Celebration Cinema offering a better and cheaper experience. I've visited the Midland theater probably close to a hundred times over the past 5-10 years. The quality has never been particularly good, and sometimes it has been downright poor, like this night or the previous time when items were hanging in front of the screen during the Nosferatu showing, or other one of the many other times there have been issues. My only hope is that maybe this theater will eventually close and be taken over by a company willing to put more effort. Previously, lower prices could justify overlooking issues, but now it's somehow more expensive than Celebration Cinema or Emagine theaters, and the experience is dramatically worse at every level.

I came here to watch a movie at 9:25 it is it has been ten minutes later and I'm still watching…read morepreviews. The experience is fine but I don't like being lied to.

Not a bad theatre. They have the IMAX, which I love, and the most movies offered at any particular…read morelocation around here. Ticket prices are standard, the seating is comfy with reclining chairs, it's pretty clean and modern, but the lines to buy tickets, which can only be found at the concession line (dumb as can be), are long and a disaster. They have never opened the actual ticket counter lines to sell tickets- ever. That's stupid. They don't even open them for blockbusters. It makes zero sense. The place is full of people in line buying tickets, snacks, getting extra snacks or have questions, gift cards, etc and it's a mess. It's not very well planned. Why are ticket counter lines there if they never were going to use them for guests? Explain this... The restrooms are usually clean, the staff is usually ok, but the concession section is a mess, including the soda refill area. As for the popcorn, it is sometimes stale or unseasoned. Parking is decent and the lot is well lit with limited security watching the lot at night, which is a bonus when it's quite dark or bad weather. A pretty good theatre experience compared to the rest.

We went on a date night to see the movie Weapons in IMAX and the facility was clean and well…read moremaintained. The movie pretty much sucked but the staff were great and helpful. The theatre was really warm and it was humid that day but it was still good to get out and actually do something together besides work and no play.
