CAA Theatre
The CAA Theatre is located at 651 Yonge Street, just south of Bloor, in the heart of downtown Toronto. Originally a private residence, built in 1911, its site has since been the home of motion picture cinemas (beginning with “The Victory”, in 1919) and live theatres (starting in 1993, when it was renovated and renamed “The New Yorker Theatre”). It was completely rebuilt in 2005 (only its facade remains) into an intimate 700-seat state-of-the-art live theatre and concert venue. It was purchased by Mirvish Productions in 2008, and renamed on December 1, 2018 as part of a new partnership with CAA.
