About The Capitol Theatre - Flint

The Capitol Theatre - Flint is a restored theater and music hall located at 140 E 2nd St in downtown Flint, Michigan. Originally opened in 1928, the theater closed in the 1990s and reopened in late 2017 after a major restoration. It is operated by the Flint Cultural Center Corporation with Whiting-affiliated management, and it is managed in association with the Flint Institute of Music and Uptown Reinvestment Corporation. In its seated theater configuration, the venue holds approximately 1,500 guests.

Designed by architect John Eberson in his signature atmospheric style, The Capitol Theatre is known for an auditorium that evokes an open-air Italian courtyard beneath a star-lit ceiling. The restoration preserved ornate plasterwork, Spanish-Mediterranean detailing, and the historic marquee while updating the stage, seating, and building systems for modern events.

The venue hosts concerts across genres, comedy shows, touring performances, film screenings, community and cultural events, and private or special events. As a landmark of downtown Flint, its 2017 restoration is regarded as a centerpiece of the city’s downtown revival, and its preserved atmospheric auditorium remains one of the theater’s defining features.
