Our Box Office hours during the trial will be Tue-Fri, 12-2 pm!

This is what two booked seats looks like with physical distancing... . We've got a great ticketing system that will automatically book space around you!

ON SALE NOW! And there are only 50 tix! Head over to the website and check out how the new physically distant seating map works! Max 6 in a group, and buffer seats book automatically.

True! In our continued efforts to reduce the risks for our patrons, staff, volunteers and performers, masks are mandatory while in our space. . We have been implementing this simple policy through our Summer Youth Production in July, our meetings, and our non-performance rentals and it has just become second-nature. . We cannot always maintain appropriate physical distancing, so please, don't forget your mask when you're planning your visit to the Capitol!

Tix go on sale tomorrow for the first few shows, and there's some newness. . ZONES are the left and right sides of the theatre. If you're sitting on the right side, you are in ZONE 1 and will enter the ZONE 1 ENTRANCE. That leaves ZONE 2 seats and entrance for the left side. . That it! (for now!)... #tixonsale #covidprotocol #safetyfirst #mandatorymasks See more

Our first HOMEGROWN SEASON show goes on sale on Monday, September 21st! We are thrilled to have Tenise Marie on our stage to kick things off. Please head over to our website for info about the show and what to expect when you come to our first event since March 14th!

This is so fun, not the whole thing, but a good chunk of it... really hilarious to see the Zoom giggling amongst them throughout!

DID YOU KNOW that we have had months of Summer Youth, construction workers and so far a busy non-performance renter moving in and out of our space with our COVID-19 Mitigation policies in place? Interestingly, the one thing we haven't done yet is an actual event with a 50-person audience, but that is all going to change in October! Get ready to return, and don't forget your mask!

We are coming to life! On Monday tickets go on sale for the first few Homegrown Season shows! We have been busy getting things organized, and we will be posting more info over the next days and weeks to come with what feels like NEW EVERYTHING. In the meantime, get ready to come out and support the fabulous local talent from our own backyard!
