The CAA Theatre, formerly the Panasonic Theatre, is a live theatre owned and operated by Mirvish Productions in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. On December 1, 2017, Mirvish Productions announced a marketing partnership with CAA South Central Ontario, which included renaming the venue that was known as the Panasonic Theatre.[1]

Early years

The original building was built in 1911 as a private residence, then converted to a movie theatre in 1919 and known as The Victory.[2] It was renamed The Embassy in 1934 and a host of other names over the next 60 years:

  • The Astor
  • The Showcase
  • The Festival

In the 1970s, the Festival Theatre was a key venue of the Toronto International Film Festival (then known as the Festival of Festivals).[2]

Rebirth

In 1993, the building was renovated for live theatre productions and renamed The New Yorker Theatre.[2]

Second rebirth

In 2004 and 2005, most of the building was demolished, with only the facade preserved. The old building was replaced by a new state-of-the-art live theatre and concert venue, and it was known as The Panasonic Theatre. In 2005, the building was acquired by Live Nation and in 2008 by Mirvish Productions.

A list of theatrical productions at the Panasonic:

  • Forever Plaid
  • Blue Man Group
  • We Will Rock You (musical)
  • The Most RACES Show on Earth! (live stand-up comedy)

With the complete rebuilding of the Panasonic, Toronto is left with a handful of early 20th-century theatres (both movie and live):

  • Bloor Cinema, 1905
  • Ed Mirvish Theatre, 1920
  • Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres, 1913
  • Revue Cinema, 1911–1912
  • Royal Alexandra Theatre, 1907

A list of lost or rebuilt theatres:

  • Standard Theatre (Toronto), opened in 1921 and operated as a theatre until the 1990s; now a retail store
  • University Theatre (Toronto), built in 1949 and like the Panasonic only the facade was preserved; it is now a retail store
  • Uptown Theatre (Toronto), built in 1920 and demolished in 2003
