The Village Theater At Cherry Hill

The Village Theater at Cherry Hill is a 400 seat, premiere performance venue at the corner of Cherry Hill and Ridge Roads in Canton, Michigan. The 30,000 square foot performing arts and education center sets the stage for both participants and patrons of the arts.

History:
Canton Township began investigating the need for a Performing Arts Center in April 1996. At that time a committee was established by the Board of Trustees to study the feasibility of building and operating a performing arts center. Three committees were established. They included; the Partnership Committee, Art User Group Committee, and the Building Design Committee.

Each committee developed a list of recommendations for their specific area. The Partnership Committee developed a list of local and regional arts organizations who might be interested in utilizing the facility. Many of the organizations contacted were very supportive and enthusiastic about the need for such a center. Their needs for a theater varied in size from a small intimate house to one that could accommodate more than 1200.
