Originally part of Minneapolis’s “Theatre Row” (which at one point featured over 30 legit venues), the Orpheum (1921), State (1921) and Pantages (1916) are all historic vaudeville theatres which have been scrupulously renovated and maintained by the Hennepin Theater Trust. These unique venues are considered to be among the finest in the Midwest, and showcase a broad variety of performances annually. Touring Broadway shows are housed in the Orpheum, while the Pantages and State present concerts, comedy shows and more. Docent led tours of the State Theater are hosted regularly.
