Don’t miss out on great upcoming events!
The State is a beautiful, state-of-the-art theatre, seating 554 in the Main Auditorium and featuring an intimate, smaller space for performances upstairs known as The Attic. We boast a 29′x40′ stage, 88 dimmers, a front-center hydraulic lift, and a powerful new projector.
Making our beautiful facility a home away from home for local artists and arts groups is perhaps the most important part of our mission. It is a pleasure for our staff to work with you to “make your dreams come true” by performing at The State Theatre.
Perfect for any private gathering, benefit event, wedding, or concert, our theatre is open and available to the community for private rentals.
If you are interested in renting the State Theatre for an event, production, or private gathering, please check out our rental information and request a date.
