Additionally, the interior of the 4th Street Theatre will be remodeled to better serve both patrons and performers. 2. Capitol Theatre House Renovation: Major renovations will include upgrading theatre seating, enhancing ADA compliance, modernizing lighting and audio systems, and addressing safety concerns in technical areas. Aesthetic improvements such as plaster repairs, painting, and carpet replacement will also be undertaken to refresh the venue's interior. 3. Façade Remodel: The theatre's historic entrance and façade will be repaired and updated with a glass lobby space modern digital signage while preserving the theatre's iconic appearance.
