Capitol Theatre – Clearwater, Florida

Sunday, 11/25/2012 – 7:00PM

The Capitol Theatre has an interesting history.  According to their website:

Constructed and established in 1921 as the Capitol Theatre (Royalty Theatre 1982-2008), this classic structure, complete with a large mezzanine and furnishings reminiscent of a classic Hollywood theater, is one of the oldest operating theatres in the state of Florida.

The Capitol Theatre reportedly had its beginnings as a vaudeville theater and movie house, and was once the home of famous headliners who displayed their legendary talents (making history in the process) on the polished wood planks of the Capitol’s stage.  In its hey-day, the walls of this famed theatre housed many of the best entertainers in the world.

The City of Clearwater and Ruth Eckerd Hall have joined forces to renovate and revitalize the historic Capitol Theatre located on downtown Clearwater’s beautiful Cleveland Street.  This project is part of the plan to re-energize downtown Clearwater, and the theatre is an integral part of the unique character of the area.

The theatre seats 655 people.  Clearwater is in the Tampa Bay area.

Clay and Ruben Studdard performed in Clearwater on July 26, 2010 as part of their Timeless Tour.  They performed at the Ruth Eckerd Hall.

I really love these videos.  I hope you do too!!
