Mission: "To create opportunities for the greater community to engage in and experience all facets of the arts." The Capitol Theatre has touched the lives of almost everyone who has resided in the Franklin County area. For many in the community, the Capitol is the “go-to” place for quality arts and entertainment experiences. For others, it provides a creative outlet for performing on stage in play

s, ballets, and concerts or working behind the scenes. Many memories have been made over the years watching movies on the big screen, attending live shows, and listening to the mighty Moller Theatre Pipe Organ, which sounds as vibrant today as it did over 90 years ago. You can be a part of preserving the Capitol for the children of today and future generations so they too can “grow up” with equally fond memories at the Capitol. Capitol Theatre Center Foundation operates independently as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization and is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees. Like most non-profit theatres throughout the country, Capitol Theatre Center experiences a financial gap between what it costs to operate the cultural arts center and the amount of money generated through ticket sales, facility rentals, and concessions. We are able to close the financial gap, in large part through grants; endowment interest income; marketing partnerships; and donations from individuals and businesses as part of the annual Capitol Forever Campaign. There are many ways an individual, family, or corporation can contribute to the Capitol Theatre Center Foundation. All gifts are greatly appreciated and may be tax-deductible depending upon the type of gift and your own personal tax situation. To discuss the possibility of making a gift, please call 717-263-0202.

Last week, our Executive Director Kelly Kozlowski sat down with Tiny from 92.1 The GOAT on , where they discussed all things Galentine’s Day! 😍🥰 You can check out the full interview here: https://youtu.be/avHtqG9iO3Y?si=DMh8CzVfuf86ioLG (Head to the 23:40 time stamp)

“One of the best things that a woman can do to boost her mental health is to revisit things from her past that give her endorphins— the dopamine effect. .... Women are three times more likely to listen to music that they have loved for years than they are to go out and explore new artists/genres.”

In a nostalgia dive, Kelly found The Boy Band Project, and that's how this year's Galentine's Day entertainers came to be! You can join us for the event THIS SATURDAY starting at 5:30pm! There will be exclusive vendors to shop from, before the boy band tribute kicks off at 7pm! Grab your tickets here: https://ci.ovationtix.com/36040/production/1208935?performanceId=11505556

We're honored to have this next vendor joining us this Saturday for Galentine's Day! Joules by Tracie is going to be here with permanent jewelry! 😍

What is permanent jewelry? It's a bracelet, necklace, or ring you can get that you're guaranteed to never lose, as it'll be fastened to never come off. It saves the hassle of remembering to put it on in the morning, or looking for somewhere to put it, as it'll already be on! 😊 Joules by Tracie will have a lot of styles to choose from. 💍

In order to shop with the vendor, you must have a ticket to our Galentine's Day event, which features entertainment from The Boy Band Project! Grab your tickets by calling 717-263-0202 option 1, stopping by in person at 159 S Main St, or online here: https://ci.ovationtix.com/36040/production/1208935?performanceId=11505556
