Capitol Theater, Movie theater in Port Chester, US
Capitol Theater is a performance venue in Port Chester that now primarily hosts live music and concert events. The three-story building contains 1,800 seats arranged for viewing performances, with street-level retail spaces and offices integrated into its structure.
The building was designed in 1926 by architect Thomas W. Lamb as a movie theater and operated as such until 1970. It then transitioned into a concert venue where it continues to operate as a performance hall.
The space attracts music lovers seeking live performances in close proximity to the stage where they can experience artists directly. This relationship between performer and audience defines how people use and value the venue.
The venue is equipped with modern sound and lighting systems that meet professional technical needs for performers. Visitors should check ahead to see which shows are scheduled and learn about accessing the location.
Singer Janis Joplin wrote the song Mercedes Benz at a nearby location and performed it for the first time on this stage shortly after. This spontaneous premiere connects the hall to a memorable moment in music history.
