Detailed Information
The Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre (formerly known as the Capitol Theatre) has been a vital part of Downtown Clearwater since its opening on March 21, 1921 with the motion picture Dinty. The Clearwater News of March 17, 1921 described it as “one of the most beautifully finished playhouses in the South.” Over the next seventy-four years theatergoers were treated to vaudeville stars, war bond rallies, the Miss Florida Pageant, the Clearwater Symphony Orchestra, cinema and the Royalty Theater Company.
It is one of the six venues that compose the Richard B. Baumgardner Center for the Performing Arts. The theater has a seating capacity of 750 people.
