The Temple Theatre is a historic theater, located on the banks of the Saginaw River in Saginaw, Michigan. The Temple was built in 1927 for the Elf Khurafeh Shriners, and operated for 50 years by W. S. Butterfield Theatres. The theatre complex also contains the former clubhouse of the Elf Khurafeh Shrine, now in use as event space.
The 1,750-seat Temple Theatre, nicknamed the "Showplace of Northeastern Michigan," is the home of multiple Saginaw-based arts organizations, including the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra and the Saginaw Choral Society. The Temple also regularly presents film screenings and national touring shows.[1]
