Closing out the month is a special theater fundraising showing of the documentary Marqueetown, on Saturday, May 25th at 7:30pm. Based on the work of Bernie Rosendahl, Marqueetown tells the true story of a Michigan resident’s modern crusade to restore the historic arthouse of his youth to its former glory, a quest that leads the filmmakers to discover a hidden cinema empire in the Upper Peninsula. In an effort to shine attention on cherished theaters in communities across the Midwest and directly support them, Marqueetown is flipping the script on the standard theatrical splits and donating 100% of all the ticket sales to each venue - funds that will go directly back to the hosts for operations, preservation, and maintenance of these local gems. As a historical and restored theater, The Capitol is honored to participate in this special event. Tickets are $10 and 100% of the proceeds go to The Capitol.
Unless otherwise marked, Movie tickets at The Capitol are $8 for adults / $6 for seniors, kids & students and are available for purchase at BurlingtonCapitolTheater.com & the box office.
