State Street Theater Receives $7,500 Grant from New Ulm Area Foundation for Curtain Repairs

State Street Theater is pleased to announce it has received a $7,500 grant from the New Ulm Area Foundation to support much-needed repairs to the theater’s stage curtains. The grant was formally presented during a recent check ceremony, celebrating the Foundation’s continued commitment to preserving arts and culture in the New Ulm community.

The historic curtains are a vital part of the theater’s stage functionality and audience experience. Over time, wear and tear made repairs necessary to ensure safe operation and maintain the professional quality of performances. Funding from the New Ulm Area Foundation will allow State Street Theater to complete these repairs and continue welcoming audiences and performers into a well-maintained performance space. Community support, including grants like this one, plays a critical role in sustaining the theater’s mission and historic facility.
