The Capitol Theater is Yakima’s primary performing arts venue, originally opened in 1920 as the Mercy Theatre. At the time of its opening, the historic theater, which was designed by architect Marcus Pritecaiteca, was the largest of its kind in the Pacific Northwest. It was fully restored in the 1970s by the City of Yakima and the Allied Arts Council, reopened to the public with a gala ceremony in 1978. Today, the 1,500-seat venue is home to performances for a number of local organizations and event series, including home performances by the Yakima Symphony Orchestra. More than 175 performances are showcased annually, including touring Broadway musical performances and community concerts.
