Giving Activity

Mission

The historic Auburn State Theatre enhances the quality of life and cultural awareness of our community by providing performing arts, film, and educational experiences.

Needs

Unrestricted operational funding is the greatest need for the historic Auburn State Theatre. Each year, Auburn State Theatre presents entertainment and programs through Cinema at the State and On Stage at the State, including our State Theater Acting Company. Community non-profit and commercial entities rent the Auburn State Theatre for their productions. This variety of programming brings entertainment with a diverse audience stream.

Auburn State Theatre is currently managing a restoration of the theatre due to the historic nature of the building. Through this opportunity, gifts are particularly welcomed to address the internal beauty of the Theatre.
