CLEVELAND — The Capitol Theatre in Cleveland will reach a major milestone this week when it turns 100 years old on Friday.
Unfortunately, the theatre is currently closed, but you can still join in on the festivities in several ways.
From 3 to 5 p.m. on Friday, you can take part in a commemorative photo outside the theatre. Make sure to bring your mask.
Also, starting Friday, you can stream the documentary "Landfall," "an unflinching look at Puerto Rico’s struggles against colonialism, exploitation and natural disaster, with the 45th Cleveland International Film Festival." The theatre is co-presenting the film.
