The State Theatre, built in 1935, stands next to the Paramount Theatre on Congress Avenue in downtown Austin, Texas. At approximately 300 seats, the State Theatre boasts an intimate and comfortable setting for both film and live performances. Most recently, the venue has hosted diverse events—the SXSW Film Festival, standup comedy, and exhibitions by local nonprofit arts organizations—that reflect the spirit of the Austin community.
In addition to its robust programming, the State Theatre is home to the State Theatre School of Acting in partnership with ACC, Scriptworks, and numerous youth theatre camps and classes.
