this is my business

Today, the Capitol continues its 80 year tradition of affording locals a steady mix of movies, with an emphasis on family-friendly films and independent productions. The original screen and proscenium survive in the majestic theater #1 and the historic lobby is even better with a newly added seating area suitable for relaxing before your movie with a nice ice cream. Our popcorn has been written about in AAA Traveler and yes, we use real butter.

Great prices, excellent movie choices. There's always something worth seeing there - plus great shops like Monroe Salt Works & restaurants open late, right in the neighborhood.

Invaluable, thanks to its policy of booking not-to-be-missed films that otherwise would be the ones that got away, as well as reasonable admission prices and nifty interior architecture.

Great place to take the kids. Wonderful popcorn, and not outrageously priced!
