Historic State Theater Complex
209 W Dixie Ave, Elizabethtown, KY 42701-1533

The State Theater is now host to not only classic movies, but live concerts, comedy shows, theatrical productions and more. In addition, The State Theater complex now includes a full service banquet room and is also home to the Hardin County Playhouse which performs inside the black-box style Plum Alley Theater.
