Bilheimer Capitol Theatre

The Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre

Owned by the City of Clearwater and managed by Ruth Eckerd Hall, The Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, located in downtown Clearwater’s Cleveland Street District, was constructed in 1921 and is one of Florida’s oldest operating theaters.

Recently, industry trade publication Pollstar named the Bilheimer Capitol Theatre the #1 club venue in Tampa, #1 in Florida, #2 in the United States and #2 in the world, compared to club venues with 800 seats or less based on gross ticket sales.

In 2013, the theatre underwent a complete $10 million renovation, becoming the catalyst for additional downtown development in Clearwater. In 2019, Nancy and David Bilheimer donated $2.5 million to Ruth Eckerd Hall as part of the theatre’s ongoing “Expanding the Experience” capital campaign. In recognition of the generous donation, the Capitol Theatre’s name was changed to the Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre.
