Ed Mirvish Theatre

The Ed Mirvish Theatre (branded as the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre for naming rights reasons) is a historic performing arts theatre in Toronto, Ontario, located in the Garden District, near Sankofa Square. Owned and operated by Mirvish Productions, the theatre has approximately 2,300 seats across two levels. There are two entrances to the theatre, located at 263 Yonge Street and 244 Victoria Street. Opened in August 1920, the theatre was designed by Thomas W. Lamb to host vaudeville performances and films. The theatre was originally named the Pantages Theatre, after its first manager and theatre magnate Alexander Pantages (1867–1936). From 1930 to 1973, the theatre was named the Imperial Theatre, and, following the 1973 multiplex renovations, was renamed the Imperial Six. In 1989, the original Pantages Theatre name was restored, until 2001 when it was renamed the Canon Theatre under a naming rights agreement. In 2011, after the theatre was acquired by Mirvish Productions, it was renamed the Ed Mirvish Theatre. The name was amended to the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre in 2021 as part of a naming rights agreement with the regional chapter of the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA).
