CAPA enriches lives by cultivating and nurturing the arts, spreading an appreciation that can be felt in hearts, minds and the economy of our communities. CAPA was formed in 1969 to save the historic Ohio Theatre (Columbus) from the wrecking ball. After the theatre was saved, CAPA renovated the magnificent 1928 movie palace to its original glory.
It was then, that CAPA became the leaders in theatre rehabilitation and downtown redevelopment. Since then, CAPA has adopted Columbus' Palace Theatre (1926) and Southern Theatre (1896). The 925-seat Southern Theatre was CAPA's second major theatre rehabilitation project, reopening in 1998 after a dramatic $10 million renovation.
