The State Theater in Central City, Nebraska has a rich history dating back to 1916 when it was known as the Martha Ellen Auditorium. Over the years, it has served as a venue for various forms of entertainment, from concerts and operas to vaudeville performances and plays. In 1928, it was renamed the State Theater and has since become a cherished landmark in the community. After facing closure in 2012 due to the cost of transitioning to digital projection, the State Theater Foundation was established with the goal of preserving and reopening the theater. Thanks to the support of donors and the community, the foundation has made significant renovations and improvements, including the installation of a new projector, the replacement of the marquee, and the enhancement of the theater's facilities. With its mission to provide exceptional cinematic arts in a unique and intimate setting, the State Theater continues to be a beloved cultural hub in Central City.Generated from the website
