The State Theater prepares to come back to life
June 30, 2022
When Rod Hatfiled thinks back to the years of his youth in Springfield, he has fond memories of time spent at The State Theater.
And so do his business partners Nick Demana, Patrick Field, and Dr. Ash Ahmed, who together make up the local investment organization Altered State Group (ASG), which gained ownership of The State Theater at the end of 2021. In addition to being partners, the quartet are lifelong friends who all graduated from Catholic Central High School in the 1980s.
