Our Mission: The State Theatre of Ithaca is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the enrichment of the lives of our Finger Lakes Region community by presenting, showcasing, and producing the finest quality performing arts events, and, in doing so, making a meaningful contribution to the quality of life and economic development of Downtown Ithaca, New York. Our Core Values: Quality We challenge ourselves at all times to do our work better, seeking the highest quality in all of the work that we do, with the finest performers and events, the best customer service, and the richest experiences for all of our patrons, volunteers, and supporters. Engagement As our community’s largest living room, we are a forum for public engagement in the Arts, education, and community involvement and improvement. We celebrate the tremendous power of the communal experience. Responsibility We are the stewards of our historic 1928 theatre, and as such we take great pride and care in preserving our home. We will use the resources entrusted to us in a responsible manner, and we will take seriously your confidence in us. We firmly believe that our work has enormous potential to make a difference. Fun We will always remember that we’re in the entertainment business. If we wish to bring our patrons enjoyable experiences, our staff, volunteers and board should enjoy them too, and have fun in all that we do.
