Restoring THE WURLITZER

STAGE continues renovation on a Wurlitzer organ that was returned to the theater in 2018, thanks to the support of benefactors and ongoing individual citizens’ donations.

The State Theatre originally had an organ, but it was removed when the silent film era ended; today, with the installation of the Wurlitzer, the theater is one of only 200 theaters in the country to have a functioning organ. With about 1,200 pipes connected to dozens of instruments, the Wurlitzer is one of the most expensive and time-consuming parts of the overall restoration—but it’s well worth the effort.
