In 1926 the State Theater was established as a vaudeville theater. It has a seating capacity over 1500. The resident ghost, "Fred" is claimed to be J. Fred Osterstock who managed the theater at one time. Feature shows include such known artists as Engelbert Humperdinck, Alton Brown, Kenny G, Blue Man Group and Ringo Starr. Get tickets early because they sell out quickly. Parking is available at 2 garages. If you are lucky you may find a spot on the street. The only objection I have is being charged $3 for a bottle of water.

It's a great place to see a show. The acoustics are phenomenal, the old architecture is a treasure, staff are friendly, and isn't far from Palmerton PA. If you like going to see shows definitely give it a chance.

Had an incredible time at both Waitress and Jingle Jam this week! Both were great shows! Your volunteers are amazing and so friendly and helpful. Can't wait to see my next show at your venue!

Does Fred still haunt the place?

As someone who works there regularly and has been in most of the hidden rooms and underground passages I can definitively say: There is no ghost. Now passages to alternate dimensions cannot be ruled put.

Is there any handicap parking ??

Marian Rice | Dec 30, 2018
State Theatre Center for the Arts (Owner) | Dec 31, 2018

There are a few spaces on the street, but are first come first serve and unable to be reserved. We encourage people to utilize the City of Easton Parking Garage and the Free Trolley that runs from 3rd and Pine to under the marquee and back. If assistance is needed, security is available to help someone out of the vehicle while a companion parks it.

We recommend the City of Easton parking garage and run a free shuttle to the theatre and back. They have reduced rates for event parking but need to check with them for the current rate.

How early do the doors apen before a concert? And does the trolley run on Sat nights?

Colleen Carlbon | Dec 30, 2019
State Theatre Center for the Arts (Owner) | Dec 31, 2019

The theatre doors normally open 1 hour prior to a performance. Regardless of the day of the week, the trolley begins about 90 minutes prior to a performance.

Does the seats accommodate large people

Andrea Favre | Dec 30, 2019
Mark David | Dec 31, 2019

Define large. Barely. Rows are narrow as well making entering or exiting once people are seated nearly impossible for thin.

Hi Terry.. doors usually open about 1 hour prior to show .. the box office lines for pick up or purchase tickets usually get longer closer to showtimes.. no advantage getting there to early. unless you want to look or walk around .. lines move very QUICKLY and before SHOWTIME EVERYONE is seated .. STAFF is very conscience and good at what they do .. There is a security check but that too moved fast .. ALLOW TIME to walk and park which also goes quickly .. Please CLICK on HELPFUL so i may continue helping ..THANKS
