I’m assistant to the regional manager here, and have been since 2008ish. It is nice to have a newer theatre that was built with some class. We’re always being complimented on the building.
I helped build this one…
I was hired as an assistant manager in Mid 2002. I helped streach the screen, install the masking, Wire the speakers, and assemble the booth & Platters.
The updated old-timey look of Capitol Theater adds to the small-town feel with a little bit of inventive gloss. The marquis is big enough to get the information across without dishing out sensory overload; it speaks to a time when movie magic was the norm. The theater was designed by Sally Brainerd of RKD, a local architecural firm.
It has four screens and 640 seats, and it opened on Friday, October 11, 2002.
I found one link that said the Capitol Theatre opened in 2005. There is a picture on their website of the theatre, really nice looking theatre building and front.
