Support the Capri Theatre
If it were easy (and cheap) to run a single-screen 200-seat theatre built in 1941, everyone would be doing it. If you want to support other people in running just such a theatre (without having to do it yourself), you can do so in a number of ways! Check out the options below and then (please) support the Capri Theatre!
-
The Capri Theatre cannot survive without donations. The money goes directly to the theatre and is tax-deductible.

WHY SHOULD YOU BECOME A MEMBER?
Less than $2 of every ticket sold goes to the Capri Theatre. When we say we can’t survive without members like you, we mean it.
YOU CARE ABOUT MONTGOMERY AND THE LOCAL ECONOMYThe Capri Theatre has been called “The Light of Old Cloverdale,” and not just because of the marquee! The Capri’s presence brought in new businesses when the area was economically run down. The theatre is credited with helping create the unique, Old Cloverdale and artistic Montgomery feel in the area.
YOU LOVE EXPERIENCING NEW THINGS
Our regular weekend films, showing Friday through Monday, are definitely varied. We show award-nominated films, foreign films, indie films, and more. There have been times in our history where we were the only theatre in the state to show some films, and we’re often the only one in the area to show films like Hundreds of Beavers or Billy Preston: That’s the Way God Planned It. So if you love broadening your horizons, seeing unusual things, and experiencing things outside the mainstream, we’ve got you covered.
YOU LOVE EXPERIENCING OLD THINGS
When we say you love experiencing old things, we don’t just mean our classic films (John Martello’s Classic Film Class, monthly classics such as The Princess Bride, Jaws, The Big Lebowski, Mean Girls, It’s a Wonderful Life, and more), but the building as a whole. Built as the Clover Theatre in 1941, the theatre was renamed the Capri Theatre in 1962. When the theatre was in danger of being sold and torn down, supporters came together to form the Capri Community Film Society, Inc in 1983. Since then, it has become one of Alabama’s premiere independent theatres and Montgomery’s last remaining and only nonprofit theatre. At 85 years old, the Capri Theatre is possibly the longest continually-operated theatre in Alabama, connecting modern-day moviegoers with moviegoers in generations past.
YOU BELIEVE IN SUPPORTING THE ARTS
Film is an artistic media that speaks to people around the world and allows us not just to expand our minds and understand others better, but to enrich our lives. Whether we’re showing Academy-Award nominated films or Showgirls, we believe all film has the power to speak to something inside us. And even if The Room isn’t your cup of tea (yes, we’ve shown that, too), your membership helps insure that the film will get the chance to connect with someone – including you!
YOU SUPPORT INDEPENDENCE
The Capri Theatre is the only independent theatre in Montgomery and surrounding areas. We should have been crushed by cable and streaming by now, but the support of our members has helped us defy the powers that be, and with your membership, we can continue to do so.
If that appeals to you, become a member – or renew your membership – today!
