CAPA

The Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA) is a non-profit organization based in Columbus, Ohio, dedicated to enriching lives through the arts. Established in 1969, CAPA initially focused on saving the historic Ohio Theatre and has since become a prominent presenter of national and international performing arts. CAPA operates under four strategic pillars: community collaboration, access to the arts, education, and venue stewardship. The organization provides a variety of services, including personalized back-office support for local arts organizations, event management for major events like the Festival Latino, and the management of historic venues such as the Ohio Theatre. CAPA also presents a diverse range of performances, including Broadway shows and local premieres, and offers educational programs designed to enhance community engagement with the arts. Key initiatives include the Passport to Learning Series and the CAPA Marquee Awards, which celebrate high school musical theatre education.
