The Caprice Showcase Theatres opened the Caprice Twin Theatres' doors in late-1981 after several months of construction. Construction of the theater building began on May 15 of that same year.

It originally housed 668 seats when it opened (with 373 seats in Screen 1 and 295 seats in Screen 2), and Screen 1 features a Dolby sound system with 27 speakers installed around the auditorium. Their original seats were 38in seats and 22-23in width to prevent leg room.

It last operated with 622 seats (348 and 274) until its Spring 2006 closure.
