A home for any film lover

Designed by renowned architect, C. Howard Crane, the State Theatre is an Art Deco community staple of Ann Arbor.

Neighboring the Michigan Theater since 1942, it has been programmed by Marquee Arts since 1999 and under its ownership since 2014.

The State Theatre has since grown from one humble screen to four, maintaining its historical charm and commitment to film quality under Marquee Art’s renovation.
