Capitol owner Heath Claiborne acquired the facility in 2002 for $165,000, but the renovations he's made to the old theater have cost that much and more, he said. The lighting system alone cost more than $100,000. |
A state-of-the-art sound system will allow the Capitol to host any number of events, from music concerts to movie screenings to dramatic productions. |

The theater's floor seating can be removed to make room for dancing ... as will be the case tonight (Sept. 26) when swing dancers twirl to the music of The Streamliners. |
