Welcome to the Real Fans, established in 2015. We are dedicated to supporting film programming at The State Theatre. We love film: indie, classic, foreign, award winning, AFI top 100 and more. There are lovers of every genre in our midst. We like to see movies in a local theatre with a group of friends or loved ones. We like to get off the beaten path of the top-grossing movies from time to time. A donation of $100 or more gives you free access to our movie series, and input in our movie selection process.
At The State Theatre, we have an active opera community, The State Theatre Opera Buffs. It keeps growing every year and we’d love to see it continue. We offer great benefits for those that show their support by joining. The continuation of the opera broadcasts hinges on your support.
