The State Theatre is a movie palace in Ann Arbor, Michigan, designed by C. Howard Crane in the Art Deco style. The State was built by W. S. Butterfield Theatres, which also operated the nearby Michigan Theater. [1] The non-profit Marquee Arts has operated the theater since 1999, complementing the Michigan's programming.
The Michigan Theater opened on January 5, 1928, and was at the time the finest theater in Ann Arbor. The theater not only showed movies, but also hosted vaudeville acts, live concerts, and touring stage plays. Over the years, Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, Paul Robeson, and Ethel Barrymore all appeared at the theater. [3]
