Mercy Theatre
Mercy family theatres have been a part of Yakima for 100 years. Their latest combines a pub with movie house.
About the Episode
For 100 years the Mercy family has brought “the movies” to Yakima. From hard bench seats and no popcorn, the beautiful live performance stage of the Capitol Theatre, to the latest combining a pub with a movie house, the commitment is entertainment. Host Thane Phelan speaks with Kathi Mercy and her son Steve, the fourth generation, about continuing the Mercy family heritage, and tours the new Orion.
