We need only imagine for a moment what Columbus would be like if not for CAPA. A downtown void of music plays and performance, lifeless streets in the evenings, ghosts of historic and palatial theater spaces long gone. Thankfully, the vision and passion of a few stubborn visionaries have both preserved and persevered to allow a flourishing arts community to thrive. The future is bright as our cultural heritage marks time while surging forward.

To discuss CAPA's 50 years in Columbus, we welcome Chad Whittington (President and CEO at CAPA), Michael Coleman (Former Mayor of Columbus), Larry Fisher (CAPA Co-Founder), and host Mary Yost (Editorial Page Editor at The Columbus Dispatch).
