Grants supported the Auburn Placer Performing Arts Center's Historic State Theatre-offering a variety of performing arts, film and educational experiences to people of all ages in the community.

Through much hard work and dedication, Auburn Placer Performing Arts Center completed a significant expansion phase in 2014 to return the State Theatre to its original historic grandeur. Honoring its 1937 Art Deco design and aesthetic, the theatre expanded from 130 seats to 340. Offering excellent visibility from every seat, the larger space required equipment to improve the sound and technical management of the Theatre's many stage productions.

Funding from Placer Community Foundation provided for new choir microphones and a headset intercom system. The equipment will be used by many local organizations and traveling productions during concerts, plays, musical productions, speaker and other community events; providing deeper sound throughout the Theater, quality lighting and synchronized vocal cues.

Altogether, the equipment will enrich the audience's experience and help to provide a world class arts experience for all who attend.
