The Capitol Theatre reopened on the evening of April 17th, 1988.

The Capitol Theatre is a regional landmark for presenting performances from highest quality touring groups, producing performances in-house, and acts as a cinema for film festivals and for streaming of live performances. For 30 years, The Capitol Theatre Restoration Society has relied on industry best-practices, processes and organizational expertise to create and maintain a sustainable performance facility and social hub for our community. The facility is fully-utilized, our staff is well supported, and our many volunteers are engaged and energetic. Together, we believe our patrons’ experience is second-to-none. What we do, we do well.

As we look forward to our next 30 years of operations, we focus on remaining sustainable while also growing our staff, engaging in new theatre opportunities and technologies, and investing in a long-term contingency plan to handle unforeseen emergencies and expenses if they arise. Along with healthy revenue from ticket sales, the Capitol Theatre relies on funding from all levels of government as well as individuals to maintain its current success and strength. Moving forward there are increasing opportunities for patrons and supporters to become involved. There are a number of ways to participate. We are a registered charity and issue tax receipts to donors.

Following is a suggestion of ways to contribute and the benefits for each:
