Put Your (Or A Loved One's) Name In Lights!

May 29, 2020

During the coronavirus epidemic, there's a bright spot -- literally -- for those wanting to celebrate a loved one. Traverse City's State Theatre is offering personal messages on its fantastic and historic downtown marquee in exchange for a donation to help the theatre. 

Here are the details: prices range between $300-$500 based on amount of time requested and availability. Payment must be received prior to marquee completion. Not all times and dates will be available, staff will respond to your request to confirm availability. Marquee message space and characters are limited, so staff will work with you to confirm what fits within the restrictions. Important note: The marquee cannot be used for promotional purposes.
