State Theatre of Modesto Inc

The Modesto State Theatre is such a gem in Downtown Modesto! This classic, historic venue offers a unique experience with its single movie or event showings — every visit feels special. I’ve also had the opportunity to photograph events here, and the space is just as beautiful behind the lens as it is in person. From its vintage charm to its community-centered programming, it’s a true Modesto landmark worth supporting and experiencing. 🎬✨

Super nice facility. Love the Art Deco inside. Tonight we watched the Papa's and the Mama's. Great show

Perhaps one of the best classic movie theaters there is. It is so exciting to see in person and they have a variety of things going on to keep you coming back for more. A must see in Modesto!

I visited this movie theater today and was genuinely surprised in the best way to see that they were finally screening The Voice of Hind Rajab. This was one of the most impactful and unforgettable films I have ever watched. It took courage and integrity for the Modesto State Theatre to show a movie like this. If there is absolutely one film you must watch right now, make sure it’s The Voice of Hind Rajab. Left me devastated and speechless, a haunting reminder and a gripping story of one of the most heartbreaking tragedies of our lifetime. The theater was filled with emotion! There were tears everywhere. You could feel the collective grief and heartbreak as everyone watched the devastating reality of what happened to her. May the voice of HIND RAJAB HAMADA outlive every lie that tried to bury it.

We decided to take in a showing of Leonid and Friends at the State Theatre in Modesto (if you've not heard of Leonid and Friends, they are a Russian musical group who primarily plays covers of the band Chicago but also performs some EW&F tunes). It was a long drive for us but well worth it. The theater is in downtown Modesto and holds about 550 guests in the main section. In addition to the regular seating, there are open areas for those with disabilities. The theater had good acoustics and the seats were comfortable. In the foyer, the theater sold candy, popcorn, drinks and adult beverages. Restrooms were clean and the foyer was decorated for Christmas. I liked the feel of the theater. It reminded of my younger days, attending our local theater for concerts, movies, and other shows. My wife and I had a great time and really enjoyed the show and the theater.

Watched the Modesto Opera production of Cinderella here yesterday. Loved the theater and the production.

I went there to see the Prince tribute concert w my family. It was my 1st time there and I really didn't know what to expect. But, overall i was pleasantly impressed and enjoyed myself there at the concert and the venue. Upon arriving...the parking was fairly easy to find a parking space. We pretty much walked right up to the front entrance w a minor wait to get in while security checked bags. But, it was fast moving. And, ultimately we didn't mind bc it was for our safety. We were then pointed towards our seats and were able to navigate ourselves without any problems. We had a total of 5 tickets purchased and we had the cluster of seats that are seated closest to the wall. It was nice and convenient for us to all be sitting comfortably together. I was however I brought in my jacket to wear inside. Had I not done so I would've been awfully cold and probably uncomfortable the entire show. So just keep that in mind to those of you that purchase those tickets near the wall. For some reason there is a chilly breeze that comes through somehow over there on the sides. As for the concert...overall I thought the band was pretty good and I would recommend seeing them if you get the chance too! And if you never have been to the State Theatre of Modesto...do yourself a favor n check it out. I'm glad I did. Supposedly they have a pretty good restaurant next door to this theatre that is good & worth checking out if you have the opportunity to.

I love older theaters, and this one did not disappoint. The staff are all friendly and we enjoyed ourselves at the concert. The acoustics are not perfect, but thatbis to be expected in an older place...BUT... it definitely didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves! We will go here again 😊
