Historic Howell Theater — Attraction in Howell

The historic Howell Theater has once again reopened!

Be sure to check out their website for current showings as they only run for about a week at a time.

''I've often walked down this street before'' So the songs goes. But this place really looks familiar. The Historic Howl has that ''street where you live'' vitality. I decided to see ''Bodies Bodies Bodies''.....you know people watching. I carefully selected my most stylish blue Fedora and silk ascot. Then I stuffed my shirt and pants with piping hot Marco's carry-out pizza and gingerly walked into the theater lobby. I furtively looked about avoiding eye contact with anyone. Then I casually asked the owner, Tyler, if he possessed a first aid kit. He said, "No....now is that burning flesh I smell....or anchovy ?" I looked him square in the eye then slowly backed out the door. Outside it was an unseasonably cool Friday night and the cold night air felt good on my burned chest and thighs. No doubt about it.....I had to get a...
