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.

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.
