The Michael A. Guido Theater is located in the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center.

Taking a play from the revenue-generating pages of the Fox Theatre and the Detroit Opera House, the theater in the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center will soon begin offering patrons the option of purchasing beer and wine to consume while watching a show.

Cup holders are in the process of being installed in each of the 1,200 seats at the Michael A. Guido Theater and the plan is to begin sales of beer and wine for the upcoming show season, confirms Dearborn Mayor John B. O’Reilly, Jr.

The city already holds a liquor license for the Center for when special events are held at the facility so broadening it to include shows in the theater is a smart financial move. The combination of beer and wine sales along with a show schedule that in recent years has had broader appeal will go a long way to helping the Center generate even greater revenues.
