Description
The Capitol Theater located in the heart of downtown Willimantic was opened in 1929 and presented vaudeville shows and films. The theater continued to show films throughout the 1970s until it finally closed in 1973. The theater stood dark and empty for nearly 30 years. In 2004 the marquee of the Capitol was lit up again after an extensive $15,000,000 renovation and transformation by EASTCONN into a regional performing arts high school. The renovation of the theater includes a 200 seat proscenium stage theater, a black box theater, a drama stage, studios, classrooms, gallery, and a scene shop.
