The Capital 8 Theater in Montpelier Is Back in Business

This theater seats 1,250 guests and boasts an extensive lobby. Perfect for any group gatherings of friends or families!

Seating

The theater provides various seating arrangements, from rows closest to the stage (Row A) to those furthest away (Row M). Seats numbered 1-7 are situated to the right side of the stage, and 8-22 at roughly center stage. Seats reserved for individuals with disabilities are also numbered.
