It currently only has approx. 220 seats.
The Capawock each September is host to the Martha’s Vineyard International Film Festival: www.mvfilmfest.com There are photos of its exterior and interior on our Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Marthas-Vineyard-International-Film-Festival/200095618948?sk=photos
The street view and address is incorrect. The address should be 45 Main Street.
The Capawock is listed in the 1927 Film Daily Yearbook as having 320 seats, open 2 days per week.

The Capawock is currently the only theatre in Massachusetts to exhibit the series of opera performances from LaScala and 2 other theatres in Italy, run by Emerging Pictures and Screenvision.
Lost Memory, it’s so good to see a new pictures of the Capawock. I haven’t been home to the Vineyard in 11 months :(
This is another photo of the Capawock Theater.
Here is MY PHOTO of the Capawock in 2003.
The Capawock is listed in the 1942-43 Motion Picture Almanac as part of the Levenson Circuit of Boston. Run by Joe Levenson, the circuit at the time consisted of 12 theatres including the Playhouse in Edgartown, the Coland and the Strand in Oak Bluff, and the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline.
the theatre opened in 1912 — yes, it has been around a long time.
Here is a photo of the Capawock Theater that claims to be from 1919. It appears that this theater has been around for a long time.
