Featuring jazz, folk, classical, contemporary and many forms of international music, the theatre's varied programme also includes drama, dance and spoken word performances.

The Capstone Theatre is situated within Liverpool Hope University's Creative Campus, regularly playing host to performances by Royal Liverpool Philharmonic's 10/10 Ensemble, home to the European Opera Centre and Asian arts organisation Milapfest whose monthly Saturday afternoon free concerts of Indian music in the Capstone are a growing attraction.
