Flint — Walking into the theatre balcony from the classically adorned hallways at the Capitol Theatre is a breathtaking experience.
High above, hundreds of LED lights twinkle against a deep blue sky. Classic theatre architecture and detail give the feeling of an outdoor theatre from a past era. It’s like walking back in time, to when the building was constructed in 1937.
Contrasting with the renewed architecture is the state-of-the-art projection and sound mixing equipment.
There are a myriad of details and stories about how every inch of the theatre, hallways and entrance were restored with original pieces and replicas.
For example, 81 floral medallions were glued into the entryway and hand painted, according to Ashley Schoen, Marketing and Communications manager.
The overall project goal was $37 million. According to Jarret Haynes, The Whiting executive director, $24 million was spent on hard construction costs, such as the renovation, updating the HVAC and electrical systems and upgrading and installing new equipment.
The rest was spent on design work, consultants, theater planning and capital reserves.
Completed this month, the project “broke ground” in July 2016. It was spearheaded by The Whiting/Flint Cultural Corporation and Uptown Reinvestment Corporation.
The project received several grants, including $4 million from the Hagerman Foundation.
“We see the Capitol as the most significant project in the city in the past 20 years to bring economic benefit and redevelopment,” said Phil Hagerman of Fenton Township, along with his wife Jocelyn.
Earlier this month, a ribbon cutting and soft opening was held along with a brass band musical performance.
The Capitol Theatre building, however, is not yet open to the public. Haynes said there will be a short series of “soft” programming as they work the bugs out of the new lighting and sound equipment before a live audience.
The theatre will be programmed and operated by The Whiting, and is expected to include musical performances, plays and select movie screenings. Programming will complement, and not compete with the performances held at The Whiting’s auditorium.
Haynes expects to announce actual programming in January. Watch www.thewhiting.com for announcements.
Aside from the Hagerman Foundation, the C.S. Mott Foundation donated $15 million, and $5.5 million came from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
