The newly-restored main auditorium of the Capitol Theatre
The Capitol Theatre, located in the heart of the Gordon Square Arts District at Detroit Rd. & W. 65th St., will be offering discount admission rates to Lakewood residents through December 31, 2009. Patrons who present proof of residency for any of the following zip codes 44107, 44102 or 44113 will be admitted for $6 (3D films are subject to an additional surcharge and this offer isn’t valid on legal holidays) on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. That’s a savings of up to $3 off of the regular admission. The re-opening of the Capitol Theatre is a key part of the Gordon Square Arts District which also includes a new streetscape, renovations to the Cleveland Public Theatre and a new home for the Near West Theatre. Originally opened in 1921 as a silent movie house, The Capitol Theatre has undergone a massive renovation that converted it into a state-of-the-art three-screen all-digital cinema. The main auditorium includes a 3D projection system and will be featuring the new film
AVATAR (opening December 18th) from director James Cameron, the man behind
Titanic and
The Terminator. The concession stand features traditional movie theatre fare as well as a selection of beers and wines.
“The Capitol Theatre is a true showplace and we want to give everyone an opportunity to visit what we believe is the most beautiful movie theatre in Cleveland,” says Jon Forman, President of Cleveland Cinemas. “Residents in surrounding communities will be able to come see some wonderful movies throughout December for a great price.”
