The countdown to Centre Gives 2025 is well underway and we are depending on you to help us reach our goals again this year! With the success of last year’s campaign, The State Theatre was able to install a brand new 4K Digital Projection system and we can’t thank you enough!
This year’s annual 36-hour giving event is May 14 & 15, and there are a lot of different ways that you can help support The State during Centre Gives 2025 and beyond.
Your support is crucial to our mission as the premier destination for professional live music and movies in Downtown State College. Check out The State Theatre’s 2024 Impact Report below, and learn more about how your donations during Centre Gives help to continue our mission.
On May 14th – 15th, 2025 The State Theatre will be participating in Centre Gives, a 36-hour online giving event for non-profits making a difference in Centre County. The State Theatre is a nonprofit performing arts center committed to using our passion for performance, creativity, and inclusivity to support our community through the performing arts.
