The Capri: 100 Years of Culture, Community, and Creativity

For nearly a century, the historic Capri has served as an artistic haven and cultural anchor in North Minneapolis. Originally built in 1927, it stands today as the last remaining theater on Minneapolis’ Northside—and famously, the exact stage where Prince debuted his first solo concert.

As a program of PCYC, the Capri is more than a performance venue; it is a force for community connection and economic impact. The center empowers the Northside by incubating local artists, fostering career pathways in the creative and tech fields, and providing completely free youth arts education. From world-class concerts and community conversations to film, theater, and dance, the Capri offers state-of-the-art spaces designed to help neighbors connect, create, and collaborate.

As the Capri approaches its centennial celebration in 2027, Capri 100, this historic stage continues to inspire the next generation. Discover upcoming events, youth programming, or explore the 2026-2027 Capri 100 season by visiting thecapri.org.
