The theater has since reopened as a performing arts school. The building was entirely gutted to a shell and a new theater was built within the frame. The orginal theater was lost although many of the orginal fixtures fomr the orginal theater were preserved and re installed. The neon CAPITAL letters from the marquee now adorn the wall outside the theater. Many light fixtures from the orginal theaters lobby now hang in the new theater’s lobby. So in a sense the orginal Capital still lives on, a much better result thatn to loose the building all together

The Webster does retain some of its Art Deco Style, but the neighborhood around it has turned for the worse affecting the overall appearance of the theatre. The theatre is starting to be in dire need of serious cosmestic renovations.
