Our family has lived in Newton since 1997. In October 2012, we had the opportunity to purchase Capitol

II Theatre. With the help of wonderful community members, we were able to re-open the doors in November 2012. Earlier in 2012, we had also changed city ordinance to allow miniature pigs as pets. Because of the long hours we spent at the theater, we brought our 6-month-old Joy along. The community volunteers and theater patrons fell in love with her. This led us to work with the State and USDA to allow Joy to hang out at the theater with us. Right inside the front doors, she has her own room where people can look at her through a glass door. On nice days, we take Joy on walks around the town square. We will also sometimes have her out in front of the theater performing tricks for theater patrons. Joy does have her days off, so she’s not at the theater every day. We welcome people to get in touch with us ahead of time if they want out-of-town guests to see Joy. If our schedule allows, we will happily make sure Joy is at the theater that day. - Dawn Bleeker, owner of Capitol II Theatre - Where every movie brings out Joy.

NOW PLAYING - SARAH'S OIL: Inspired by a true story. Set in 1910 Oklahoma during the oil boom, young Sarah Rector inherits 160 acres of land most dismiss as worthless. Undeterred by others' doubts, Sarah becomes convinced there's oil beneath the surface of her land. With the help of a charming wildcatter, Bert (Zachary Levi), the two seek this hidden treasure. However, when Sarah and Bert's success attracts the attention of corrupt local oil magnates, the two must fight to protect Sarah's inheritance from falling into the wrong hands. capitol2.com

TONIGHT!!! Also, did you know that POLTERGEIST rating is technically rated PG? I couldn't believe it, so I did some research and here's what I found: Poltergeist initially received an R rating by 24 reviewers from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) due to the gory bathroom scene. Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper disagreed with the R rating and succeeded in changing it to PG on appeal. Poltergeist was one of the reasons PG13 ratings became a thing. It was July 1, 1984 when MPAA introducted PG13 ratings.
