I recently visited this former theatre. I met the owner of the nearby Wine Cellar and she took me on a tour of what is left of the theatre. Plans to restore the theatre someday were mentioned during my visit.

If it closed in 1955, I wonder if it has set dormant all these years? I’m still waiting on a reply from the current owners of the bistro to see if they or someone else is planning to restore the theatre. If I don’t get an email response this week, I plan to call the bistro.

The State Theatre opened in 1935. Seating at thaat time was listed at 438. I beleive it closed a a movie theater in 1955.
