State Theater

The State Theater is a movie theater and music venue in downtown Clovis with a distinctive circular glass brick column and red and blue trim on its facade. The building holds around 800 seats and continues to host performances for visitors.

The building was designed by architects Jack M. Corgan and William J. Moore Jr and opened in 1940. It started as a cinema but later became a multipurpose venue hosting various types of performances.

The venue served as a gathering place where residents came together for entertainment and community events over the decades. It remains a focal point for local cultural life and social gatherings.

The venue is located in the heart of downtown and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that the historic building occasionally requires maintenance work that may affect event scheduling.

The distinctive marquee was handcrafted by a local sign company in Clovis and remains a defining visual element of Main Street. This artisanal work reflects the craftsmanship rooted in the local community.
