The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, is marking its centennial this year on Saturday, September 19th. With a storied history that includes performances by legendary acts like The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Phish and more, the venue has served as a meeting point for generations of artists and fans alike.

As a community staple that 'is not just a venue but a gathering place,' The Capitol Theatre will host an anniversary show featuring performances by Pink Talking Fish performing as The Centennial Band. With performances honoring the quintessential artists who have graced the stage, the evening will include special guests and surprise moments throughout the night. BERTHA: Grateful Drag, the world's first all-drag Grateful Dead tribute band, will also take the stage and pay tribute to the Dead's legacy with high-energy flair.
