Venues were just recently given approval to reopen Oct. 9 -- and one historic Michigan venue is now on the market.

The Majestic Theatre and Magic Stick are both part of the National Independent Venue Association, which is seeking financial assistance with the Save Our Stages Act and the Restart Act in order to keep independent venues nationwide from closing permanently during the pandemic.

The Majestic Theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. When it opened in 1915, it was the largest movie theatre in the world with 1,651 seats.
