History

The building began to take its present form in 1910, when modified from a bank building to a vaudeville theater, called the Neumeyers Vaudeville House. The building was extensively modified in 1926, to include a larger auditorium, balcony, and lush decorations; at that time it was renamed "The State." The building is asymmetrical with a cut stone Beaux-Arts style facade and large overhanging marquee.^[2]

The theater has hosted the Freddy Awards, which honor the best in high school theater programs in the Lehigh Valley, every year since the inaugural show in 2003.^[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.^[1]
