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.

Theatre Rental
The CAA Theatre was completely rebuilt in 2005. It is an entirely new venue and is an extremely intimate space, with the last row in the balcony only 85 feet from the stage. The 700 seats are split between the Orchestra (427) and Balcony (273) levels, allowing a production to use one or both. The theatre is just right for small productions, comedy, concerts, graduations, press conferences, lectures and meetings.
