Capitol Theatre, Yakima

Its ornate exterior and auditorium connect the city’s cultural life with an earlier era of theatrical architecture, while its current program brings live performances to the same setting.

Plan a visit around a scheduled show rather than assuming the auditorium is open for casual sightseeing. The official calendar provides current performances, ticket arrangements and venue guidance. Arrive with time to find your seat and appreciate the building before the performance; access to backstage or other nonpublic areas requires a specifically advertised experience.
