Renovated in the early 1990s, the Capitol has three performance spaces. The main auditorium has 700 seats. Unfortunately, the Capitol Theatre filed for banktuptcy and closed in March 2007.

This is one of the theaters I attended during my college years of 1961-1965 at the University of Windsor as a refugee from Brooklyn !

This theatre is the sister to London Ontario LOEWS[demolished in 1989]It is a wonderful theatre!The front half is original and i think the back half could be returned to its better half.It was divided times 3 in 1976.I hope the city of Windsor knows what a gem they have.
