Beanfield Theatre, Performing arts center in Le Sud-Ouest, Montreal, Canada

The Beanfield Theatre stands at 2490 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest in Little Burgundy. Architects Joseph-Cajetan Dufort and Louis-Joseph-Théophile Décary designed the 1912 building; Daniel John Crighton and decorator Emmanuel Briffa reworked it in 1923, and Crighton added the cast-iron marquee in 1938. Its façade and interior keep their original appearance.

Built in 1911–1912 as the Family Theatre for the Duchess Amusement Company, it was designed by architects Joseph-Cajetan Dufort and Louis-Joseph-Théophile Décary for musical theatre, vaudeville and silent film. Sold in 1923 to United Amusements, it was renovated by decorator Emmanuel Briffa and architect Daniel John Crighton and renamed Théâtre Corona. The city expropriated it in 1967; after two decades as a plumbing warehouse it was acquired by the Institut des arts de la scène in 1997 and reopened in 1998.

The theatre's name comes from the Corona label adopted in 1923, when United Amusement bought the Family Theatre; the Beanfield name dates from a June 2023 sponsorship by the Toronto telecom firm. Its programming is musical, managed by Evenko since December 2012. In summer 1987 artists Martha Flemming and Lyne Lapointe staged La Donna Delinquenta here, a hybrid theatre and visual arts installation.

The theatre stands at 2490 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest in Little Burgundy, in the Le Sud-Ouest borough; the building is a classified heritage immovable. Programming is run by Evenko, which has held the venue since December 2012, so check the current listing before travelling. The hall is used mainly for musical performances and live events rather than film.

In 1987 artists Martha Flemming and Lyne Lapointe staged La Donna Delinquenta at the derelict Corona, from 16 May to 7 June, as Les Petites Filles aux Allumettes. Their installation convinced Montreal to protect the building; it was transferred to SIMPA in 1989, and emergency works followed that spring.
