Duck Soup Cinema

Duck Soup Cinema is Overture's silent film series. These light-hearted presentations bring back the Capitol Theater's early years as a silent-film era movie palace. We present a classic silent movie accompanied by live music played on the Grand Barton Organ, and preceded by vaudeville style entertainment on stage, emceed by Joe Thompson; Ace Willie performing close-up magic in the lobby and audience; and a chance to win fabulous door prizes. All shows take place in the Capitol Theater. Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for children 12 and under. All seats reserved. Show times are 2 PM and 7 PM.
The 7 PM shows are sign language interpreted.
