The State Theatre opened in 1921 after costing about one million dollars to build. According to the website: "At the time, it was considered the most technologically advanced and elaborate theatre in the US. The original floor was glass, which allowed direct lighting from underneath. The opening night program included a silent film, newsreel and travelogue." Until 1958 the theater was mainly used as a movie house but was purchased in 1978 by the Jesus People Church for use as their place of worship. "During this time all the murals and sculpted figures were covered by drapes and plaster shields." In 1989 the city of Minneapolis purchased the LaSalle block (which include the State Theatre) for $11 million and in November 1991, after three years of restoration, the State Theatre reopened after the restoration cost $8.8 million.
This is the first time that Kasim Sulton has played at the State Theatre in recent years although he did play at the nearby Pantages Theater on 22nd January 2008 (again with Todd Rundgren).
