The Capitol Theatre is about community. Volunteers from the community fill the seats on the board of directors and help with events. The venue is used for community events, school programs, and local performances. As a non-profit, the theatre is in a unique position to be a resource to Greeneville and the surrounding areas.

The Capitol Theatre was constructed in the early 1930’s and has served various roles throughout its existence. Ownership changes and years of neglect necessitated restoration and upgrades. Private donors have begun the process, but much more is needed to restore the Capitol to its former iconic status.

The Capitol Theatre currently features a state-of-the-art audio system via support from NPAC and TEVET. In an effort to be energy conscious, the house lighting has been converted to smart LED low voltage fixtures. Comprehensive stage lighting and video projection systems are in the planning stages.

As a non-profit venue, the Capitol Theatre relies on community volunteers and investments from private donors. Thank you to the residents and companies that have funded the upgrades to date. If you would like to invest in the restoration of the Capitol, please contact the main office at 423.638.1300 or visit our website: www.thecapitoltheatreofgreeneville.com
