The goal of the Friends of the Alger Theater is to refurbish and reopen the Alger as a Movie Theater/Performing Arts Community Center. Reopening the Alger will be seen as a catalyst for the continuous revitalization of the surrounding neighborhoods and businesses by stimulating local economic activity. The Friends believe that by providing quality entertainment and acting as a resource for community gatherings, a restored Alger Theater will offer cultural enrichment and improve the quality of life in the East Side Detroit Neighborhoods surrounding it.
