OUR THEATRE
The Chatham Capitol Theatre is a 1208-seat entertainment venue located at 238 King Street West in the heart of downtown Chatham, Ontario. As Chatham-Kent's venue of choice for concerts and events, it is a popular stop for national and international touring artists. Originally a bustling 1930s movie theatre, the Capitol Theatre is imbued with historical grandeur, with art deco detailing, gilded décor, opera boxes and an ornate ceiling.
Â
There are 452 seats in the balcony and 756 seats on the orchestra level, and the balcony can be closed for a more intimate performance setting. The 65-foot fly tower and state-of-the-art rigging allows for large-scale, technically advanced productions. The orchestra pit is designed for the optimal acoustic experience and can also be raised to floor or stage level as desired.
