CAA Theatre, Theatre and movie theater in downtown Toronto, Canada.
The CAA Theatre is a performance venue on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto, used for live theatre, concerts, and film screenings. The auditorium is arranged over two levels, with seating for around 700 people.
The building opened as a cinema called the Victory Theatre in 1919, though the structure itself dates to 1911. Over the following decades it changed names and owners several times before being converted into a live performance venue.
The name comes from a December 2017 marketing partnership between Mirvish Productions and CAA South Central Ontario, which renamed the former Panasonic Theatre. The stage has favoured repeat runs: Potted Potter returned in 2012, 2016 and 2018, and the 2024 season paired Titanique with Dog Man: The Musical.
The theatre sits on Yonge Street and is easy to reach on foot from Dundas or Queen subway stations. The main floor entrance is wheelchair accessible, and infrared listening systems are available for guests with hearing difficulties.
A planned high-rise development intends to keep the original 1911 facade standing as part of the new building, wrapping a tower around it. This kind of facade retention is rare in Toronto and has drawn attention from people interested in the city's architectural future.
