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.

Get ready for a once-in-a-century musical celebration that tells the story of North Bay through the voices of its own musicians!
Featuring performances by local legends and new voices.
Held at the iconic Capitol Centre on November 23, 2025.
A journey through 100 years of North Bay’s music, memory, and community.


On the cusp of global superstardom, New Jersey rocker Bruce Springsteen struggles to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past as he records the album "Nebraska" in the early 1980s.

A haunted journalist uncovers a cover-up tied to ghostly apparitions and a century-old lie that won’t stay in the ground.
In a winter-bound northern town, a string of disappearances fractures the quiet and drags journalist Sarah Beckett into a story she can’t shake - and visions she can’t explain. When Sam, a retired rail worker, brings Sarah a troubling lead, she turns to Max, an exacting historian leading a local rail revitalization project.
As Sarah digs, the past pushes back. Apparitions flicker. Footage glitches. Records don’t match memory. Is she chasing a lead - or being led? With the town’s legacy at stake and a modern scheme converging, Sarah’s investigation blurs the line between truth and myth. To free the living, she’ll have to reckon with the dead.
A mix of crime, psychological dread, and the supernatural, Phantom Line follows the truth into what won’t be laid to rest.

DEREK EDWARDS - Oxy Moron
Every few millennia, a comic emerges, born from the cosmic soup of fate and time, jostled by the gales of change onto the unpredictable shores of comedic brilliance. This is a man who embodies pluck and wit, lighthearted yet encumbered, and a naivete that somehow remains endearing. As Derek says: In the grand contest of life, he stands proudly as a bona fide "participant."
Well ... truth be told, there’s a lot more to it than that. From Vegas to St. John's, this Just For Laughs veteran is universally considered to be among the comic elite. Certainly his peers think so, as evidenced by the fact that he's a four-time nominee, and winner of Best Standup Comic - Canadian Comedy Awards, as well as a multiple Gemini nominee for Best Performance in a Comedy. As Rick Mercer says, "Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada."
