Capitol Theater

Capitol Theater is an Art Deco-style cinema and performance venue located downtown. The building features a performance stage and seating capacity designed to accommodate both film screenings and live entertainment productions.

The theater was constructed in 1937 as part of the growth of entertainment venues during the interwar period. Its construction reflected the architectural trends of that era and its opening marked an important moment for the community.

The venue serves as a gathering place for film lovers and art enthusiasts in the area. People come together to watch independent movies and attend live shows that shape the cultural rhythm of the community.

The venue is situated in the downtown area and easy to locate. Additional amenities like a music lounge with signature drinks operate regularly to enhance the visitor experience with supplementary entertainment options.

The building is one of only two remaining Art Deco theaters in Iowa designed by a noted architectural firm. This rare survival makes it a notable example of the style in the region.
