Appell Center

For the last 45 years, the Appell Center for the Performing Arts (formerly known as the Strand Capitol Performing Arts Center) has served as the cultural hub of downtown York. It has presented national touring performers and films... It has served as a center for education and community engagement... And it has provided a performance space for the York Symphony Orchestra, Dance It Forward, the York County Honors Choirs and many more.

While its architectural footprint has expanded over the years, the heart of the organization is its two historic theaters – the Capitol Theatre (1906) and the Strand Theatre, celebrating its 100th Anniversary this season.
