Benefit My State 2017 Featuring:

Branford Marsalis Quartet

with Special Guest Kurt Elling

State Theatre of Ithaca, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to the stewardship and management of the historic State Theatre. The State Theatre first opened its doors in 1928 hosting vaudeville shows including dance, comedy, and singing, interspersed with newsreels, cartoons, and short-subject silent films.  Almost 90 years later, The State continues to host a broad array of performers and talent, including rock bands, comedians, jazz musicians, film, flamenco, country, and children’s performers. 

 Our 7^th Annual “Benefit My State” event is a fun opportunity to experience an exciting night of world-class entertainment while supporting and celebrating The State Theatre.  Like all non-profit theaters, we can’t rely on ticket sales alone. The funds we raise through this event will help ensure a healthy future for The State and keep us at the center of the community’s performing arts scene.
