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.

Chris Funk’s REDEFINING WONDER is an engaging multimedia experience that has audiences talking and scratching their heads for years to come. Finally, a MAGIC SHOW WITH LIVE MUSIC! Chris has pioneered the use of instruments like the violin, guitar, sax and more into his illusions. His parents wanted him to be a musician, but he wanted to be a magician. Chris tells his story on how he integrated his love for music and magic in a show unlike any other. Whether it’s a violin concerto to a magical dancing sheet of music to impossibly suspending various instruments on stage, his show is in a league of its own. The live-feed camera and interactive videos bring audiences up onstage and into the action, delivering a show that family audiences can call their own.
From NBC’s America’s Got Talent, CW’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us & Masters of Illusion, FOX’s Hell’s Kitchen and Syfy’s Wizard Wars, his unique approach to magic has garnered him performances at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood, Mandalay Bay, Rio, and Tropicana casinos as well as residencies at Disney. In addition to his own touring, Chris has starred in major touring magic productions Masters of Illusion LIVE. Chris’ show has garnered standing ovations and a reputation for excellence.

CAPITOL CENTRE: Classic Albums Live: Purple Rain
until 10:00 PM @ Capitol Centre, 150 Main Street East, North Bay ON- Member$45.00
- Regular$50.00
About Classic Albums Live: Prince’s Purple Rain:
“What I always liked about Prince was his work ethic. You rarely saw him in the celeb press, he would choose to stay home and work. When he did decide to venture out, he’d always end up on a stage sitting in with a local band. That kind of laser focus has never before been matched.
Purple Rain is one of the greatest albums ever made and Chris Rouse knows this and is keen to keep the band on point and working hard to get to note for note perfection. He’s got a unique internal understanding of Prince and it comes across on stage. He commands the room.
When we walk onto the stage for this recital, we’ll be accompanies with legacy of one of the world’s greatest artists. Picasso- Hendrix- Shakespeare- Prince.”

Diyet sings in both English and her traditional language, Southern Tutchone, and plays bass. Backed by Love Soldiers, husband and collaborator, Robert van Lieshout (acoustic guitar, drums & percussion) and Juno Award winning producer, Bob Hamilton (electric guitar, pedal steel & mandolin), this multi-instrumental trio has a sound that can fill a big stage or capture an intimate room.
