The Capitol Theatre was originally a vaudeville house when it opened in 1926, and later turned to movies only. It closed as a movie theater in 1985.
After a brief period when it was home to a church, it was taken over by the Owosso Players for live theatrical performances.
The current name of the theater is in honor of the theater's builder, Joseph Lebowsky, whose family owned the theater.
On February 13, 2007, a fire caused massive damage to the Lebowsky Center and its future is currently unsure. In the meantime, the Owosso Players have for now moved their performances to Owosso Middle School.
Sorry the shots aren't the greatest, it was long after dark by the time we made it to Owosso. On the plus side, it looks like the renovations have been completed and the Owosso Players have returned. Be sure to read all the interesting comments on the webpage.
