(9/28-30) It’s all-star music in a creative setting—four sets of Jazz-packed excitement. The first set takes place in the traditional 1800-seat performing arts venue, and the final three sets are in an exclusive 238-seat club-style venue on stage. It's all happening at the State Theatre!
New On Stage Venue—backstage JAZZ club
The newly created backstage JAZZ club is a 238-seat club-style venue on stage at the State Theatre. This club is custom designed to give patrons an exclusive experience just inches away from the artists. The venue’s entrance and all accommodations are backstage. Assigned table seating, general admission chair seating, a fully-stocked bar, and food are available. Note: the backstage JAZZ club is a small venue, so order your tickets ASAP to enjoy this experience. View the backstage JAZZ club seating chart > Bring your appetite!
The Backstage Buffet and Bar will be open 1 hour prior to show-time for every set! Drinks are available ŕ la carte; the buffet is $13 per person, all you can eat!
