The Capitol Theatre opened its doors for the first time on November 10, 1916. Leather furniture with mushroom air holes under each chair provided a comfortable and quiet motion‐picture experience. The theatre screen was made of gold‐fiber, a modern answer to the problem of flickering on older screens. Admission was fifteen cents. In 1976 the Capitol Theatre closed its doors and was neglected for thirty years, soaking up rain water from a hole in the roof, sometimes serving various organizations, but never living up to the potential for which it had been originally built and for which it originally served – entertaining the citizens. The journey that restored the dignity of this magnificent theatre began in 2003 and culminated when the Capitol Theatre reopened its doors as Cox Capitol Theatre in 2006. In 2013, The Moonhanger Group entered a long-term management agreement with the Theatre. On January 5th, 2018 Hargray Communications became the new venue sponsor for The Capitol Theatre.

Went to see Kane brown here. The concert was amazing, but the venue was kindly dirty. Our feet stuck to the floor. There was tons of underage drinking going on so security wasn't the best. I do...
