State Palace Theatre is a performing arts venue located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Constructed in 1926 for the Loew's Theatre circuit, it had a seating capacity of 3,335 and also contained a 3/13 Robert Morton organ.
It is located at the Uptown Lake corner of Canal Street and Rampart Street.
The theater flooded in the Hurricane Katrina levee failure disaster of 2005. Some cleanup was done allowing it to open for a few events through 2007, but the building was clearly in need of more serious renovation and closed.
[edit] Planned rebirth
City Officials and Broadway South plan to reopen the theater for the 2010-11 season. Renovations were set to take place in the summer of 2009. However, the theater remains untouched as of March, 2010.
