The Capitol Theatre
The Capitol Theatre will soon be the most exciting location for movie-goers on the West Side of Cleveland. Like a year-round film festival, the three-screen Capitol will feature independent, foreign and documentary films. Several market studies have demonstrated strong potential growth for an art and independent film theatre on Cleveland’s West Side. When complete, the Capitol will feature an expanded lounge and concession area, including a selection of beer and wine, along with traditional movie concession favorites.
Built in 1921, but vacant for the last two decades, this historic structure is well on its way to reopening as a state-of-the-art movie theatre. Detailed wall murals, classically-inspired architecture, and a vaudeville stage will be restored to recreate the atmosphere of the 1920s-era movie palace, but with all the amenities of 21st century technology.
The demand for specialty and independent films is growing and now film-goers who live on the West Side of Cleveland will be able to enjoy these quality films in this neighborhood theater.”
