The newer Capitol Theatre actually opened in May 1977 by owner Shorty Brown, who also operated the older Capitol until that theater’s closure. The entrance lobby of that theater was saved and the entrance hall was moved to the Old Town building in June 1978.

New owners took over the theater in 1995. The reason why the website says “established in 1995” is because of new owners, not when the theater opened. It was scheduled to close on March 31, 2026.
