Since its opening in 2011, The Berman Center for the Performing Arts has been a staple entertainment destination in the metropolitan area, presenting live performances, films, master classes, lectures, festivals and family shows. The venue features  an exceptional atmosphere, provides community access to state-of-the-art facilities for local arts companies, and  programming that is thoughtfully designed to promote arts education and appreciation, entertainment, and community engagement. The Berman delivers the best in cultural arts programming to Southeast Michigan uniting audiences through shared experiences that engage, entertain and inform.

The result of an extraordinary founding gift from Mandell and Madeleine Berman (z”l), The Berman opened its doors on March 23, 2011 and in its first years presented many internationally known artists including Marvin Hamlisch, Mandy Patinkin, Arlo Guthrie and Patti LuPone.  Since then, The Berman has continued to embody the spirit of Mandell and Madeleine Berman, a couple who believed in giving back to their community, and in the power of the arts to teach and inspire.
