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.
