Competition from [television](/source/Television) caused the theatre to close its doors in the late 1960s. It was later reopened as the Golden Leaf Restaurant and remained in operation until the late 1990s.[3] Converted back into a theatre, the historic building is now known as the Backstage Capitol and is the home of a local dance and theatre groups. Delhi's Backstage Capitol Theatre, with its superior [acoustics](/source/Acoustics) and intimate setting, attracts audiences and performers alike from all over North America. Open year-round, the theatre not only plays host to children's programs, [live performances](/source/Musical_theatre) and [concerts](/source/Concert), it is also a sought after venue for weddings and other private functions with its European courtyard setting.[4] Thousands of people looking for a unique venue have walked through the doors of the Theatre. Re-opened in 2008, the theatre has quickly become one of Norfolk's most popular destinations. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Backstage Capitol, Delhi"](http://www.ourbis.com/827450). Ourbis.
