Preserve Our Theatre – Maintain and improve our historic space for generations to come. Our reconstruction is underway and when finished, can be the place where the Arts can flourish for everyone.
Every gift, big or small, makes an impact!

Let’s work together to make this year’s Big Day of Giving the most successful yet. Thank you for supporting Auburn State Theatre and keeping the arts alive in our community!
The historic Auburn State Theatre enhances the quality of life and cultural awareness of our community by providing performing arts, film, and educational experiences.
Unrestricted operational funding is the greatest need for the historic Auburn State Theatre. Each year, Auburn State Theatre presents entertainment and programs in through Cinema at the State and On Stage at the State including the 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 some structural issues due to the historic nature of the building. Through this opportunity, gifts are particularly welcome to address the internal beauty of the Theatre.
