Bring Back the Magic!
"It is an important piece of history and a special piece of family history for me since my father built the State Theatre back in 1926."
- Henry Carlson (Henry Carlson Construction Co.)
The new State Theatre will combine an unbelievable movie experience with affordable concessions, first-run movies, classic films, community arts and educational events.
In short, it will provide downtown Sioux Falls with a daily affordable venue to draw new patrons, dramatically improve the quality of life for downtown's residents while at the same time provide an attractive and exciting destination for tourists and the many people that visit the downtown area every year.
We need cash donations from large to small. Everything helps! No contribution too small or too large. A large check takes a tremendous bit out of that $500,000 figure but it is also amazing how quickly smaller checks add up. Anyone who raises or donates $1000 or more will be prominently and permantly acknowledged in the
State Theatre lobby.

Harold's Party Tonite An interesting day in State Theatre history. The Harold's family rented the theatre for an employee bash. |

Lighting Up Downtown The time is right for the next phase of the State Theatre to move forward, but that is going to require money and volunteer time. No contribution of money or time is too small. The next phase of development will open up the grand lobby to a retail opportunity and serve as a promotional center for the fully completed rehabilitation of the State Theatre. The phase is expected to cost $500,000. |
