The 58-year-old Lake Angelus businessman and "honorary Jew" — a title bestowed upon him by his business partner and member of Temple Israel Jon Goldstein — has been in the cinema business since 1989 when he bought the single-screen Clarkston Cinema. Despite having opened numer- ous theaters since, the co-founder and IL I& CEO of Emagine Paul Glantz Entertainment is particularly excited about the newest addition to his family of cinemas. The Emagine Palladium movie theater and Ironwood Grill will open to the pub- lic Oct. 2 in downtown Birmingham and promises to redefine the movie-going experience with luxurious amenities, gourmet dining and a new membership concept that provides patrons with prior- ity access to the latest films. "From the moment you enter the venue, you will see and feel the differ- ence Glantz said. "We are confident that we are building the movie theater of the future, where guests can reconnect with movies in an environment that is as comfortable as their own living room, but with one major improvement: We'll clean up after them" Located entirely on the third floor of the old Palladium Theatre building at 250 N. Old Woodward, the new venue trades seating capacity for a more inti- mate entertainment experience. Whereas the former theater packed 2,500 seats in front of 12 screens, the redesign limits seating to 540 seats and only five screens, guaranteeing viewers the best seat in the house from any of the plush power recliners. Patrons can also enjoy a full-service cocktail bar with a large selection of wines and craft beers. Executive Chef Andy Begole, formerly of the Maple Kitchen in Bloomfield Hills, will run the Ironwood Grill, offering guests a selec- tion of gourmet foods from appetizers to entrees and craft-your-own-pizza. General Manager Randy Froschheuser will oversee the day-to-day operations of the Emagine Palladium and the Ironwood Grill, and theater managers Erik Wessel, Rhoeben DelaCruz and Emery Eriksen will operate the Emagine Palladium. In addition to top-of-the-line accom- modations, the theater will sell a limited number of "platinum memberships" that give members priority access to tickets, dining reservations and special events as well as discounts on concessions and other perks. The benefits of platinum memberships extend to the primary member's entire household and immedi- ate family. For inaugural members, the $350 annual fee is locked with subse- quent renewals. Non-members, too, can enjoy the offerings of the facilities; but, in most cases, may only purchase tickets four hours in advance of show times. The unique membership concept, according to Goldstein, was part of an effort to cater to the neighborhood crowd. By selling memberships, movie Emagine This on page 34 2035870 32 September 24 • 2015 JN
