Capitol Theatre, Woodstock, Entertainment venue in Woodstock, Canada

Capitol Theatre on Dundas Street was a theatre in Woodstock with a large stage and balcony seating for audiences. After 1975, the upper section was converted into a second cinema space, creating two performance areas.

The building was constructed in 1893 as the Woodstock Opera House and initially served opera performances. In 1927, Famous Players Ltd took over the building and renamed it Capitol Theatre.

The theatre was where musicians performed live alongside silent films and local singers regularly took the stage. These performances shaped the entertainment life of the town for many decades.

The Capitol stood at 385 Dundas Street in Woodstock and was demolished in 2010 after a roof collapse, so there is no building to visit today. Its site can be located on Dundas Street; the former 1,480-seat auditorium and the 1975 Capitol 2 balcony cinema no longer exist.

In 1911 the theatre hosted an election debate between Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier and opposition leader Sir Robert Borden, a precursor to the election Borden won. Resident Bert Taylor later cited this debate when asking Woodstock council to designate the building a heritage property.
