Capitol Theatre

Capitol Theatre Historic Theatre located at 159 S Main Street Chambersburg PA, 17201 Your gift in any amount will have an impact.

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.

We've lost two legendary people this week. RIP Tim Curry and Dolly Parton. 💔

Tim Curry made a huge impact in the theatre world, of course as the memorable Dr. Frank-N-Furter, originating the role in both the stage production and movie adaption of Rocky Horror. But he also starred in other memorable stage productions, including Amadeus, My Favorite Year, and Spamalot. Curry has graced our theatre screen each year we show The Rocky Horror Picture Show (movie), and this year we're partnering with Chambersburg Community Theatre for The Rocky Horror Show: Live on Stage! So to say his talent has influenced our theatre and CCT's community is a HUGE understatement. ❤🥹

Dolly Parton is a country music icon, and we can say for sure her career and music have influenced several artists/bands we've had throughout the years on our main stage! In fact, next March, Forever Young Music Ministry/Kip Calahan Young will be taking over our stage with "A H***y Tonk Time Machine", a show in ode to the women of country music that revolutionized the industry, including Parton herself. ❤🎸 A H***Y TONK TIME MACHINE STARRING FOREVER YOUNG

So really, we have to thank Curry and Parton, for not only making an impact on our personal lives, but for being a part of our theatre for shows past and present (directly and indirectly). ❤ May they rest in peace. 🪽
