AADL Talks To: Russ Collins, Executive Director/CEO Marquee Arts
Russ Collins grew up in Ann Arbor and received a Masters degree in Arts Administration from the University of Michigan just before becoming Manager of the Michigan Theater in November 1982. Russ walks us through the evolution of the Michigan Theater over its near-100-year history, from the vaudeville and silent film eras through the ups and downs of the celluloid and digital eras. He also takes us into the weeds of technical changes over the years; discusses historical preservation efforts in renovations to both the Michigan and the State theaters; and touches on programming and marketing challenges following the collapse of the newspaper industry. Russ will retire in December 2024.

IT'S TRUE - Yes, Joe's Star Lounge really is going, going, gone. That's Mark 'Mr. Neon' Chalou, left, and Joe Tiboni himself taking down the sign in front of the bar Friday morning. The last show there was last Saturday, and the building at 109 N. Main St. will soon be torn down to make way for One North Main, an office, condominium and retail complex.
