A few weeks ago, I made my first Community Feature post on the Cranbrook CEC, one of the many great institutions that make life in Bloomfield Hills vibrant, exciting, and educational—qualities that any homebuyer will want to look for when searching for their future neighborhood. Today, I thought I’d continue this feature, but also flip it on its head a bit; instead of focusing on the many science and learning opportunities offered by Cranbrook, I thought I’d do a feature on another important center of culture in Bloomfield Hills: St. Dunstan’s Theatre.
Located off Lone Pine Road where it intersects with Goodhue, St. Dunstan’s is a community theatre that can boast nearly a century of history. Originally built as the outdoor Cranbrook Greek Theatre in 1916, it was one of only a handful of such theatres in the state. The main playhouse, which now houses the majority of the Theatre’s events, was built later as a shelter in case the weather proved inhospitable for the outdoor shows, but has since stolen the limelight as the primary theatre. Although founded as a professional theatre, the theatre is now run by the St. Dunstan’s Theatre Guild of Cranbrook, a non-profit organization dedicated to “producing quality theatre” in the Cranbrook community.
And produce it does. Anyone is welcome to join the theatre, whether it be onstage or off, and the shows are widely acclaimed in the Detroit area. The current mainstage production is The 39 Steps, a comedy based upon Hitchcock’s 1935 spy thriller of the same name, and the show has only continued the St. Dunstan’s tradition of excellent theatre. In the spirit of Halloween, both shows on the 28th and 29th will be “costume” showings, so guests are advised to bring their favorite Hitchcock disguise and join the cloak-and-dagger atmosphere of the stage in their own seats! Disguise yourself well enough, and there might even be a prize to win at intermission…
The community of Bloomfield hills is one that’s dedicated to both the sciences and the arts, equally. Its residents understand the need to offer opportunities, no matter what the pursuit—which is exactly what your hometown should offer its homeowners.
