Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a question you think would be a valuable addition to this space, please send us an E-mail and we will find the answer, send you a reply and post it here if it is something of value to everyone.

  • My seats are odd numbered, are they together?  Yes, seat numbers are even on the right side of the theatre and odd on the left side.
  • Are cameras allowed in the theatre?  Cameras and recording devices are not allowed for most performances. Please check with a Box Office Associate if you are unsure.
  • Is there a dress code at the Capitol Civic Centre?  No, there is not. You may wear whatever you feel is appropriate (within the guidelines of good taste) for the type of performance you are attending.
  • What happens if I lose my tickets?  Lost tickets can be reprinted. Please check with a Box Office Associate as soon as possible after losing them.
  • What is the policy on bringing infants and toddlers to performances?  Out of consideration for those around you, please use discretion in deciding if your child is old enough to sit in their own seat without distracting others. Everyone, regardless of age, must have a ticket; even if they will be on your lap.
  • What happens if I am late for a performance?  Out of consideration for the performers and those around you, please make every effort to arrive on time. We understand extenuating circumstances can happen, and late-comers will be seated at the first appropriate opportunity. You may be asked to stand in the back of the theatre until that opportunity presents itself.
  • What additional fees are incurred when purchasing tickets?  There is a $1.00 facility fee added to the cost of each ticket for events presented at the Capitol. This fee is used to maintain and clean the theater. There is a $4.00 per order processing fee for orders placed over the phone. This fee is used to offset the cost of ticket stock, along with the cost of processing and mailing the tickets. This phone processing fee is waived for Capitol Civic Centre Members at the VIP level ($50.00 per year) and higher via our Showline service.
  • What is a Member?  A member is an individual or family that makes an annual monetary donation to the Capitol. Members receive priority reservations and ticket discounts to CCC events, and the use of the CCC Showline for VIP members or higher. There are many additional membership benefits as you increase your membership level, including invitations to private receptions, free uses of CCC meeting rooms, being named in the programs of certain events, and much more.
  • Are food and beverages allowed in the theatre?  No, they are not. A variety of beverages are available one hour prior to curtain time and during intermission for most performances. Candy is also available for sale. Our hospitality bar is located either near the coat room, or in the Kadow movie museum, and we would ask that you restrict your consumption of these items to those areas.
  • Where do I park for a daytime performance?  Submitted by a customer. Good Question! Unfortunately there is no easy answer. We will try to get some kind of parking map from the city that shows where you can park, but for now we can suggest the following: Street parking on Jay Street, 7th Street or Franklin Street if you can find some; There is a large parking lot along the river off of Quay Street, across from the public library where they hold the farmer’s market, that usally has parking, there is limited parking in the lot behind Subway off Jay Street during the day, and there is a small amount of parking in the lots off 9th street by the Fire Department and across the street. Wherever you decide to park, please be careful to read the signs around you. Some of the parking is limited to 2 hours, and many of the stalls in the parking lots surrounding the CCC are leased to various companies and individuals - we wouldn’t want you to get towed. You may be tempted to park in the parking lot of the Public Library, but we ask you to be considerate of the people that need to use the library and not park there during the day.
  • Can I buy tickets for a concert in Milwaukee, Chicago, etc.? Submitted by a customer. The Capitol Civic Centre is no longer a Ticketmaster outlet, and hasn’t been for several years now. You can get tickets for some concerts at Dr. Freud’s across the street, otherwise we recommend that you check www.ticketmaster.com or www.ticketstar.com to order tickets or find the nearest location where you can purchase them in person. You can purchase tickets to the Historic Forst Inn from the Capitol box office, however.
  • We are coming to town on <dates> and there is nothing on your calendar. How do we find out what else is going on in the area? Submitted by a customer. The Manitowoc Visitor and Convention Bureau publishes a calendar of events that is pretty comprehensive. Check it out to see what else is going on in the area.

Thank you for your patronage. We hope we have answered some of your questions. If we have not answered your question, please send us an E-Mail, or contact the box office at 920-683-2184 during our box office hours and we will find you an answer.
