The State Theatre began life as a vaudeville/silent movie house, opening on February 5, 1921. It later changed exclusively to movies.
The theatre was restored to its original form in 1991 and now hosts stage and Broadway shows, concerts, corporate meetings, and special events. The State Theatre is part of the Hennepin Theatre District, which also includes the restored Orpheum Theatre, the Pantages Theatre, and possibly restore the Shubert Theatre as a live performance venue.

LM that is one beautiful marquee.
Absolutely Chuck. Many times the new marquee doesn’t look as nice as the older marquee did. I think the opposite is true with the State Theater. I think the current marquee looks nicer than the marquee shown in the photo at the top of this page.
