This and the Bijou blow the Carmike out of the water. Youd think with such an amazing alternative like this, the new Carmike theater would have been designed with the viewer in mind, but compared to the State it is a nightmare. Parking here can be a bit tricky, but even with paying to park in the lot, the State is MUCH cheaper, and the amenities and organization is leagues ahead.

Beautifully restored 100 year old movie palace. Run by volunteers it shows just great movies. A lot of movies that get no play anywhere else. The theatre is very family and community oriented and holds lots of free and .$.25 movies. Monday nights offer special programming for community groups. And concession prices are great and include locally sourced products.

Took the family to this nice theater to watch Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Admission was only $0.25! Concessions were reasonably cheaper than at typical theaters. The staff is very friendly and I later found out the theater is operated by volunteers. This vintage-feel, small town theater is a great place to enjoy a family favorite!

So happy to have such a wonderful renovated theater right downtown. The State theater offers many different types of viewings including first run films, Wednesday matinees, kids films, free movies especially during school holidays, our very our film festival, telecasts of important sporting and political evens, and more more more.

HUGE screen! Ive gone in several times knowing nothing about whats playing, and have come out with a new favorite movie every time! I suppose that, unlike the chain cinemas, the State Theatre has to rely on great movies to stay afloat. As a result, the State has been running strong for 7 years.

This theater was restored to become a real center for entertainment here in TC. There is a film festival every summer, bringing the most recent films to us ahead of the rest of the country. We support the theater by serving as volunteers about once a month. Great for our community.

A movie at this gorgeous theater, staffed by volunteers, is a wonderful and affordable experience! The popcorn and drinks are priced so reasonably, you can still afford dinner after the movie at one of TCs great restaurants. Its a dont miss experience.

I love this place! I would much rather see a movie here than in one of the chain theaters. They have all the bells and whistles and the seats are amazing. The consessions are very affordable and the staff is always very helpful and friendly.

Great place to take a date or see a unique independent film! There is very atmospheric lighting in the theater up the walls, leading to stars shimmering in the ceiling. At the front there is a big velvet curtain in front of the screen!

A fun place to go and fair ticket prices, the concessions are normal priced and they always have special events for movies like... Back to the future day and waynes world anniversary.... would recommend, Its another reason TC is TC.

Very charming theater in downtown Traverse City. Apparently its staffed by volunteers all of whom were super friendly and attentive. The theater itself had very comfortable seats and had the classic movie theater feel.

William Bowen

Great volunteer-run theater that offers an outstanding variety of classic movies, as well as the usual newer movies other theaters play. Provides an unique nostalgic atmosphere that complements the "feel" of the town.

Ben Woodworth

So glad there are people in this country that want to keep places like this around. Id much rather watch a movie here or at the Bijou than any mega theater. Its a fun, clean, unique place to watch a movie.

Have been two times and loved each time. Spacious , friendly, comfortable and warm. Great venue and and space for seeing any movie and particularly loved seeing the oldies. Most definitely will go again!

The movie was great and the experience was magical. But I dont want a fascist a hole controlling by butter intake. Michael Moore, give us our butter! The seats were ultra-cumfy! Butter butter butter!

Ben Blissett

Always very clean. Staff is volunteer based but youd never know it as they are always exceptionally helpful and friendly. Love taking the boys to the 25 cent Saturday morning matinees at 10.

Shannon Hendrick

An awesome TC experience. Tickets are affordable at around $8.50 and the theater is historic but maintains modern appeal. A combo was only $5 and a the workers are volunteers. Great movies!

Beverley Sporck

Very comfortable seating, acoustics, and decor. Inexpensive popcorn and other concessions. Very polite and accommodating personnel, along with great prices and interesting films!

A Private User

Amazingly rebuilt! Very cool atmosphere, with thousands of small lights in the ceiling to mimick stars. Hardly ever any commercials before the main feature. Great prices.

Scott Masser

A very vintage feel when you watch a movie at the State Theater. If your are in Traverse City and looking for something to do I would recommend this place for sure

Beautifully renovated. LOVE what they did with the ceiling... Worth the price of admission just to see the architectural design and interior decorating.

Historical. Comfortable seats. Outstanding sound system. Large screen. Ceiling lights configured to represent the stars over Grand Traverse Bay In August.

Love going here. The seating and atmosphere is like movies used to be. I wish we lived closer so we could go to the movies there more often.
