Why go
The State's Italian Renaissance-style design recalls the era when Hennepin Avenue was lined with entertainment houses. It began as a movie and vaudeville theater and later returned to live performance after restoration. Original chandeliers and wall murals give a ticketed visit more architectural interest than the exterior alone suggests.
What to look for
- The broad marquee marks the State on Hennepin Avenue.
- Original chandeliers and wall murals survive inside the theater.
- The restored proscenium frames today's performances.
Useful to know
- Book a specific performance to see the interior; general lobby access is not established.
- If stairs affect your visit, confirm current seating and access routes with the venue before booking.
