The Capitol Centre
The property upon which the Capitol was built was purchased in 1927 by Louis Rosenbaum, a Sturgeon Falls businessman. He began building the structure and, when he ran out of funds, he sold it to Famous Players Canadian Corporation. They opened the Capitol Theatre on June 1st, 1929. The Capitol had 1455 seats and was referred to as “a palace of splendor” with it’s elaborate Spanish lights and décor. The movie that was shown to the sold out grand opening crowd was, In Old Arizona. It was the first all-talking Fox feature movie, a western starring Edmund Lowe, Warren Baxter and Dorothy Burgess.

CAPITOL CENTRE: Dreamcoat Fantasy Theatre Presents: The Drowsy Chaperone
until 9:00 PM @ Capitol Centre, 150 Main Street East, North Bay ONTICKETS:
- Regular$25.00
Dreamcoat Fantasy Theatre is very proud to present The Drowsy Chaperone on stage this November at the Capitol Centre.
Show Dates:
Thursday November 28 at 7:00pm
Saturday November 30 at 1:00pm and 7:00pm
Sunday December 1 at 7:00pm
With an adult and teen cast, this wonderful musical is the winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score. Written by Canadians Bob Martin, Don McKellar, Lisa Lambert, and Greg Morrison, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Golden Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another.With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.
Please note this show has some mature content and parental guidance is advised.
