Founded in 1988, The Sandusky State Theatre is an historic, 1500 seat theatre that originally opened as a vaudeville and movie house. In 1992, the theatre underwent a major renovation project and has since that time become Erie County's largest not-for-profit arts organization.
By presenting and producing Re-opening of the State Theatre 9-12-2006programming of artistic, social, and educational merit, the Sandusky State Theatre is committed to serving the diverse needs of the community and as a catalyst to the revitalization of Sandusky's historic downtown district.
Billed as "The Million Dollar Entertainment Center" - the theatre was privately operated as a touring road house and movie theatre for six decades. It was placed on the National Registry of Historical Places in 1982 in an effort to preserve the structure as movie audiences had migrated to mall cinemas.
The State Theatre now reigns as a showplace for the live performing arts and film, and is dedicated to helping create and preserve the cultural heritage of the community well into the 21st century
