Capitol Theatre Project There will be cake! In partnership with the City of Windsor and the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, the Capitol Theatre Windsor is renovating its fixed seating. The Capitol Theatre Windsor is closing two of its three theatres – the Pentastar and the Kelly – from July 4th to September 16th in order to replace the aging fixed seating in these historic spaces. According to Windsor Symphony Orchestra’s Executive Director, Sheila Wisdom, “the seats, although brand new, will be in keeping with the heritage of our 100 year-old-theatre.” The Joy Theatre, an event space without fixed seating, will be available for rental to the public throughout the renovation weeks. The Capitol Theatre and Windsor Symphony Orchestra Box Office will also be open during that time, although the Box Office ticketing system will also be upgraded this summer. The Theatres will be fully functional in time for a big reveal during Doors Open Windsor, from September 24 - 25. Regular readers of The Hub know we celebrate our birthday each July - and this year we’re THREE years old! We couldn’t do it without the support of our community, local business, and our readers. To show our appreciation, we’ll be handing out birthday cake - as well as providing a comfortable resting spot - during Open Streets on Sunday July 17. Find us at the Aquatic Centre Hub, at Bruce and University Ave. W. between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. We can’t wait to see you! And if you can’t make it, be sure to check out our birthday contest on page 23 in this issue.
