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.

Pour célébrer la Journée des Franco-Ontariens et des Franco-Ontariennes , nous avons choisi de mettre à l’honneur Zale Seck, un artiste franco-ontarien. Originaire de Dakar, au Sénégal, et établi en Ontario, Zale Seck représente une francophonie en mouvement, riche de parcours, de cultures et d’histoires qui se rencontrent ici, chez nous.
Son spectacle Africa Yéwoulen s’inscrit pleinement dans notre volonté d’offrir une saison plus diversifiée, inclusive et représentative de notre communauté. En accueillant cet artiste, nous souhaitons également célébrer l’apport des personnes nouvellement arrivées et le rôle essentiel des services d’établissement qui les accompagnent dans leur intégration et leur participation à la vie de notre communauté. Auteur-compositeur-interprète, Zale Seck raconte à travers ses chansons des histoires d’amour, d’espoir, de résilience et d’appartenance. Inspiré par son héritage culturel, il célèbre ses racines tout en abordant des thèmes universels qui rejoignent les publics de tous horizons. Sa musique transcende les langues et les frontières et témoigne de la richesse de la communauté franco-ontarienne.
Avec sa présence scénique captivante et sa grande générosité, Zale Seck transforme chacun de ses concerts en une expérience vivante et rassembleuse. Une soirée haute en couleur, où les sonorités de Dakar se mêlent à la richesse de l’Ontario pour célébrer ce qui nous rassemble : la culture, la musique et notre francophonie.

Matt Weidinger has assembled a group of Canada's finest musicians to perform an unforgettable evening of music with “It’s Too Late To Stop Now - The Music of Van Morrison”.
After discovering Van’s music at a young age, Matt was blown away by not only the prolific songwriter's 46 studio albums but also by the charismatic, improvised and energetic live performances Van has displayed over his 60 year career.
Although Matt's production is reflective of Van’s early 70’s touring band, this show features songs from every era of his illustrious career including early hits like ‘Gloria/Here Comes the Night” to later chart toppers such as “Days Like This” and everything in between.
