The vision for the State Theatre Foundation is to create a cultural center for the North Central Virginia region and to be recognized as a cultural leader in that region.  The State Theatre Foundation is about more than just the building!  The restoration of the beautiful art deco State Theatre Building is only a portion of our mission.  The main objective is to bring the arts to this thriving community. 

 

The Culpeper community and surrounding region will benefit from an exciting program of events. Movie goers can look forward to film festivals presented in collaboration with the Library of Congress National Audio-Visial Conservation Center (NAVCC) and the Daniel Technology Center, as well as screenings of independent films and documentaries. Live theatrical performances presented in the newly restored auditorium will include plays, musicals, music concerts, dance performances, variety shows, book readings and signings, and celebrity events.

 

The State Theatre will also serve as the venue of choice for community events. Local schools, businesses, and civic groups are welcome to present exhibits, lectures, conferences, seminars, educational presentations, award ceremonies, and recitals.
