Capitol Center for the Arts

Opened in 1927, the Capitol Theatre was a prime stop on the Vaudeville circuit and, later, Concords premier movie house and concert hall. Over the years, however, the theater slipped into disrepair and in 1989 it was closed. With $4.2 million raised in support by the newly formed, non-profit Capitol Center for the Arts, and 250 volunteers contributing over 3,000 hours to paint and restore the Egyptian-motif artwork, the renamed theater was opened in November 1995. The Chubb Theatre was named in recognition of the projects largest benefactor, Chubb Life. The 1,304-seat theater is now equipped to present many of todays Broadway shows, dance performances, pop and country stars, family shows, international performances, school-time shows and business conferences and seminars.
