The Capitol Theatre

The Capitol Civic Center, Inc. is a not-for-profit cultural institution since 1985 serving Rome and central New York by entertaining and instructing over 50,000 people annually.

The Capitol Theatre is a 1,741 seat 1928 movie palace which now operates as a civic center. The theatre offers a variety of entertainments, including live theatre, children's productions, and classic silent and talking films.

Moeller organ at Capitol Theater, Rome, NY

Silent movies are shown in archival 35mm prints with music provided by the powerful sound of the Moeller theatre organ ... one of only four original installation Moellers in U.S. theatres today.) Presented are 1920s movies in a 1920s movie palace accompanied by great silent film musicians playing completely authentic 1920s scores.
The Capitol's goal is not just to SHOW these rare gems of the past, but to RE-CREATE THE EXPERIENCE of going to the movies in the 1920s.
