In 1928, brothers and theater chain owners Myron and Joseph Kallet constructed a new edifice in Rome. The newly-christened Capitol Theatre served as a first-run movie house and hub of entertainment for generations of Central New Yorkers. With theater trends changing, the single-screen Capitol struggled to compete with the multiplex cinemas which had become the norm by the mid-1970s. The theater became relatively dormant, but was incorporated into a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 1985 by a group of enthusiastic volunteers. Since then, the Capitol has grown into one of Central New York’s finest curators of arts programs, from live musical theater to independent film. The organization is proud of its many programs, which in an average year offer over 1,400 eclectic performances for audiences of all ages to enjoy.
