The Capitol Theater, at 206 East Fifth Avenue in downtown Olympia, Washington, was built in 1924. It was designed by architect Joseph Wohleb and has a capacity of 1,500. Since 1986, the Olympia Film Society operates the theater.
The theater played host to the International Pop Underground Convention, a punk and indie rock music festival in 1991, [1] as well as the similarly themed Yoyo A Go Go in 1994, 1997, 1999, and 2001. [2]
The theater suffered major plaster damage to the ceiling during the 2001 Nisqually earthquake, but has since undergone repair and has re-opened. The marquee, a 1940 addition, was removed in January 2008.
Comedian Sam Miller's 2023 video and album Round Trip was recorded at the Capitol Theater. [3]
