Detroit Public Theatre hopes to share success in new home Plans to open next spring in new, permanent home in Midtown Will offer residencies to other performing arts groups Chuk Nowak A scene from Detroit Public Theatre's world premiere production of "Birthday Candles" in 2018 at the Max M and Marjorie S Fisher Music Center in the Robert A. & Maggie Allesee Hall. When Detroit Public Theatre launched in 2015, it was able to do something many fledgling theaters couldn't.

Fisher Music Center, the home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
