| A downtown York and community institution. Restored classic theater updated with modern technology. You'll feel good when you're in it. It has taken a sustained community commitment to make sure York has a major cultural institution of this kind.
Performing arts center has touring musicals, the symphony and other national and regional touring acts. Watch the listings and you'll find something for your taste.
The Capitol shows classic and art films - always a better alternative than the mall theaters - watch their website and the marquee and there is regularly something worth seeing. Worth becoming a Capitol "balconista" - there's a cool vibe up there. |
