    "Best Theaters in Detroit" Erstellt von : Cityseeker 7 Vorgemerkte Orte Detroit Opera House "Restored to Grandeur" Restored to its former splendor, the Detroit Opera House is a downtown landmark that finds itself right in the middle of the action, bordered by the Theatre District, Comerica Park and Greektown. The superb acoustics in the hall provide a prime venue for the Michigan Opera Theatre and for a variety of other performing arts productions, including plays, concerts and by Bnosnhoj dance performances. In days gone by, it was a theater, concert and movie house, the fifth-largest in the world when it opened in 1922. The frescoes, marble stairways, draperies and chandeliers from its glory days have been restored. The Opera House reopened in 1996 with a performance by Luciano Pavarotti. +1 313 237 7464 www.michiganopera.org/ 1526 Broadway Street, Detroit MI Fox Theatre "Unequalled Treasure of Wretched Excess" The preservation of this theater is one of Detroit's proudest achievements. The 5048-seat palace of the arts, arguably the most opulent in the nation when it opened in 1928, was designated a national landmark in 1989 after a USD11,000,000 refurbishment by new owner Mike Ilitch. The oldest, continually operating theater in the United States features a 10-storey by IAN RANSLEY DESIGN + marquee, a six-storey lobby with a two-ton chandelier and 300,000 glass ILLUSTRATION jewels in its interior. The exotic presentation of lions, gold fixtures and jaw- dropping grandeur harkens back to the flamboyant era of movie houses. The Fox is now busy with concerts, family-oriented shows and a wide variety of other offerings.

    Serving persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1967 A N N 2 U A L 0 R E P 1 O R T 9 Serving persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1967 Dear Members and friends of The Arc: I am pleased to present The Arc of Oakland County’s 2019 Annual Report. This document provides information about our organi- zation’s history, programs, committees, and finances, and it reviews our many activities over the past calendar year. These activities included assisting with understanding guardianship and Power of Attorney documents, participating in Person-Centered Planning meetings, assisting with Individual Educational Plan issues, drafting and updating of wills and trusts, providing expert counsel on all governmental financial benefit programs (e.g., SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, Medicare, food stamps, Adult Home Help Services, and, the ABLE Act saving program). Our primary purpose is to provide advocacy for individuals in Oakland County who have intellectual and developmental dis- abilities (I/DD). One of the objectives in our Strategic Plan is to “be the pre-eminent provider of inclusive services and supports for people with Intellectual Impairment and Developmental Disabilities and their families within Oakland County.” Through the hard work of our Executive Director, Tom Kendziorski, and his outstanding staff, I am proud to say that we have achieved that goal. But families of children with special needs in Oakland County still face many obstacles, both during the school years and after the yel- low bus stops coming to their house. We will continue to be there for them. Amazingly, we served 2,500 new persons through our advocacy services in 2019! Our highlights for 2019 included the following: • We broke our record for paid membership, with 1,175 members, including four new lifetime members for a total of 88! We are the largest local chapter of The Arc in Michigan and the 10th largest nationally-affiliated chapter in the country! • We increased the number of individuals for whom we serve as Fiscal Intermediary (FI) to approximately 1,350.
