About the model
The final building of my New England series, this took me a bit more time than I expected. This building features additive shader lighting and an animated advertisement board. I think the lighting really makes this theater stand out.
The hall is a seperate part of the building, you will need to subscribe to it. It connects from the back, so it either needs a road, or you need to place it with MoveIt!. Total length is 10 tiles and 4 tiles width. Check it out in Press's New Windsor series: https://youtu.be/o2Q1qPhB-Fg?t=9m6s.

About the building
The theater was built in 1928 as The Loew’s State by Rapp and Rapp. George and C.W. Rapp were architects who made their name by designing movie houses across the United States.[6] The first film to show there was Excess Baggage, starring William Haines. Over 14,000 people jammed the building during its opening; they did not come to watch the film, but to see the theatre's opulent chandeliers, marble columns, and detailed moldings on the walls.

The theatre was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 as Loew's State Theatre.[1] From 1978 to 1982, the theatre operated under the name Ocean State Theatre.[6]

Beginning in 1999, the theater was extensively remodeled and largely restored to its original 1928 opulence. It was also expanded to be able to accommodate traveling Broadway productions and orchestra performances.[6] In 1996, PPAC became the anchor of Cianci's Arts and Entertainment District, which offered tax breaks to attract artists to downtown.
