State Theatre, originally known as Neumeyers Vaudeville House and now the State Theatre Center for the Arts, is an historic theater located in the City of Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The building began to take its present form in 1910, when modified from a bank building to a vaudeville house. The building was extensively modified in 1926, to include a larger auditorium, balcony, and lush decorations. It was 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]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
