State Theatre

The State Theatre has become my home away from home. Recent renovations have included a beautiful neon marquee and have expanded the auditorium to a 335-​seat capactiy. A wide selection of plays, movies, comedy and musical groups and even business forums basically makes the State Theater the town center. It is also run mostly by hard-​working and dedicated volunteers who show up day after day, night after night, to be sure everything is running smoothly. If you are in town, be sure to visit the State Theater, or as it is now officially called, the «Auburn Placer Performing Arts Center.»

Long live old artsy style theaters showing independent films. They revamped the place with very unique seating to allow for a much more enjoyable experience and spaciousness.
I have so many childhood memories at this place and the one that stands out the most is when I saw the movie «Grease» back then it had an amazing sound system and the screen looked mega gigantic. It’s a little different these days but still very enjoyable.

We enjoyed «It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad World» on the big screen here a few weeks ago. It was really enjoyable.
The only negative for this older theater is that the seats weren’t that comfortable. I understand the theater has so much history. I should have given this place 5 stars…
If there is another good movie, we will come back and check it out

Ah, childhood memories… I have to admit, I do like the fact that the multiplex opened up because it’s nice to have the selection, but I do miss that small town theater feel. I even remember my first date at this place! I’m glad at least that this place didn’t meet the same fate as the Auburn Cinema’s did.

Gets five stars for being one of my childhood hang-​outs. They used to show movies …

I really do like this place because of its character. This is an old style theater with a much smaller screen than newer theatres. They have removed the rear half of the seating every other row and replaced them with little tables so you can set down your drinks and popcorn and stretch out while you watch. The concessions are not a rip off like every other movie theatre and prices are good IF you are a student. I was fairly shocked when my wife and I went the other night to see Juno which has been out of all of the big theatres for over a month and it cost $ 8.50 a piece. For $ 1.25 more a person we could have seen something new. I origionally had this place rated as a three star but my wife has just TOLD me that it is at least a 4-​star.

This is a classy historic theater showing independent and family films. During the summers, they have «summer film camp» for kids with free showings of second-​run family movies. They also offer Italian sodas and other goodies. The seating is a unique two-​seat-​with-​table setup. Nice.
