State Theatre

805 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN

 

After many years as a magnificent vaudeville house and movie theater, it fell upon hard times. It became the center of a battle between city officials and preservationists in the 1980s and was almost razed. But the building was saved and every detail, from the gold proscenium arch and intricate murals to the molded plaster cherubs and white terra cotta facade, was painstakingly renovated. These days the Theatre plays host to nationally renowned plays and musicals along with concerts and lectures. The acoustics are tremendous and there is not a bad seat in the house.

  • concern about our health

“We took our granddaughter to see Dora on Sunday at the State Theatre and we had seats in Balcony 5. The show was great the seats were good but, there was a heavy white dust on everything coming from the ventilator. We ask about it and no one had an answer. We could see it floating around the seats were full of this . We are very concerned as you should be the place was filled with small children and they had an expectation of being safe.”
