The Centennial Celebrations

The Palace, Ohio & Lincoln Theatres 100th Anniversaries – 2026-2028

From vaudeville to the birth of talkies. From the dawn of jazz and blues to classical, rock, and opera. From dance to comedy and drama, and from Broadway to Broad Street, Columbus’s three world class theatres have hosted it all. If not for the passion of our dedicated community each would surely have met the wrecking ball. But live they do – stronger, more beautiful and more relevant than ever. Join us for a three-year celebration of these special places, people, and performances that make it all possible.

We saved you a seat.

Brought to the Stage by CAPA for You.

Since its founding in 1969, the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts has maintained, managed and booked our constellation of historic theatres.
From 2026-2028 CAPA will showcase a series of signature performances and community events celebrating each theatre’s 100th anniversary. Join us, won’t you?

We are dedicated to making the performing arts accessible to all residents of central Ohio and beyond. It is important to us that all members of our community know they are welcome in our theatres and audiences. To do this, we rely upon your support.
