(Opening April 2023)

Wayne State University will enhance the growing and vibrant area just south of campus by creating the Hilberry Gateway, a $65 million performance complex for theatre, music, dance and arts-related events. 

As part of the complex, the current Hilberry Theatre will be renovated to become the Gretchen C. Valade Jazz Center, a high-caliber venue for music and dance performances. The 200-seat venue will offer ample seating for parents, patrons, donors, and community members for dance events. The renovated space also will enable the dance program to feature masterclasses and lectures.
