The Columbus Association for the Performing Arts is known best for the venues they operate locally including the Ohio, Palace, Southern, Capitol, and Lincoln Theatres. CAPA also serves in a managerial role for Shubert Theater in New Haven Connecticut, and assists with a lot of the day-to-day operations for other local groups including the Franklin Park Conservatory, Opera Columbus, and CATCO.
Today, the organization announced that they would be taking over management duties for the Valentine Theatre in Toledo starting next month. The new partnership may not be enticement enough to get Central Ohioans to make the drive to Toledo for a show, but could lead to new collaborations that could bring traveling artists or other events to one of their Columbus theatre locations.
