About:
The Capri is owned and operated by PCYC, a strong, 69-years-young, community-based nonprofit with a rich history of delivering exceptional education, arts, and youth programming to children, families, the North Minneapolis community, and beyond. Built in 1927, The Capri Theater is the only one of 13 movie houses in North Minneapolis that remains standing today. It provides the Northside and metro-wide community with countless opportunities to experience and produce art, to create and implement ideas, and to Be Together.
The theater seats 255 people. There are 8 wheelchair transfer seats and space for at least 6 wheelchairs.
The stage is 23’-8”w X 26’-11”d.
Although COVID-19 is no longer declared a pandemic, it is still extremely contagious, especially to those who are unvaccinated or have a weakened immune system. The Festival cannot guarantee that attendees will not become infected with COVID-19 when attending the show.
Following the CDC recommendations for Ventilation in Buildings, the Capri is equipped with a state-of-the-art bipolar ionization airflow system and MERV 14 air filters. They’ve also implemented enhanced cleaning practices throughout the building per the CDC recommendations for Cleaning and Disinfecting Your Facility.
Masks, regular hand washing, and social distancing are all encouraged. Please stay home if you do not feel well or have been exposed to someone who may have had COVID-19 in the last 14 days.
Ultimately, it is up to audience members to decide whether they are comfortable attending an in-person show. Check local case numbers before making the decision to attend in person or participate virtually.
If an in-person ticket is purchased but needs to be transferred to become a virtual ticket due to COVID, please contact us right away.

Parking:
Parking is free along 23rd Avenue North. There is a pathway to either go up a set of stairs or up a ramp and around to the front door. You can also take the ramp to the Capri Stage Door. This is a wheelchair-accessible entrance that will take you through the building to the box office. Our goal is to have someone ready to open the door for you. If there is not a person there, push the button on the wall and someone will come let you in.

After going through the main entrance, the ticketing booth will be in front of you. Please purchase tickets if you have not done so already.
If parking on 23rd Ave N and using the Stage Entrance, please use the buzzer if no one is there to let you in. You will then take a straight path into the open event space, take a right, and the ticket booth will be on your right.
To the left of the ticket and concession area will be an open area where some of our performers will be selling their wares and the entrance to the theater.
