Previously known as Reade's State Theatre, B.F. Keith's State, and RKP State Theatre, the theater opened on December 26, 1921, with vaudeville acts and the silent movie White Oak, and at the time it was the largest theater in New Jersey. After the vaudeville era ended in the 1930s, it became a popular cinema for first-run movies. In 1979, DEVCO purchased it, and Middlesex County received and restored it, reopening it as a performing arts venue in 1998. The theater remains owned by Middlesex County and operated by the non-profit State Theatre New Jersey. Renovated in 2021, it was restored to its Art Deco roots and stands as a cultural jewel of the City's downtown arts district.
