Ah, the historic Capri Theatre - where you can spend a rainy/snowy Saturday afternoon catching a double feature, some cartoons, and an action-packed serial (such as Don Winslow of the Navy) for just 9 cents! Sometimes we really miss the early 1940's...

But wait! The historic Capri Theatre still has a lot to offer to residents of the Twin Cities. Just last year, Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak delivered his annual State of the City address from its' stage - the same stage on which Twin Cities musical superhero Prince played his first concert (at least according to this site, which, for the sake of trivia, we really hope is accurate)! And coming on April 17th, the Capri will be the location of our first Great City Take Action Forum!

These forums, developed in partnership with the Office of Mayor RT Rybak, are designed to bring Minneapolis residents together to learn about community issues, share their experiences, and hear from local government and nonprofit organizations about what can be done to make our city an even better place to live! The first forum, "Reweaving the Urban Fabric", will focus on urban environmentalism and how we, as citizens, can make our city a cleaner, greener place, starting in our own neighborhoods.

We'll be posting more about this forum as we get closer to the event, but you should probably start getting excited now. For more info on the Great City Take Action Forum series, including a helpful map to the Capri Theatre, click here!

(And, yes - there will be snacks.)
