When not presenting its own performances, the State Theatre is made available to a number of community, civic, and performing arts organizations on a rental basis. The State Theatre's main floor is wheelchair accessible. An assistive listening system for patrons who are hard of hearing and large print programs are available for most events.

A nonprofit organization, the State Theatre's programs are made possible, in part, by funding from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, and contributions from numerous corporations, foundations, and individuals.
