The Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres

Located on Yonge Street for the past century the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres were saved from demolition in 1981 by the Ontario Heritage Trust, who still owns and operates the complex today. Built in 1913 for vaudeville, the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres are unique, because they are two full-sized theatres stacked one on top of the other. Each theatre has its own proscenium stage, fly-house, opera boxes, orchestra pits and balconies, making them the last operating “double-decker” theatre in the world.

Today, the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres host a variety of  events and occasions including, theatrical productions, awards shows, concerts, dance, fashion shows, location shoots, film premieres, fundraisers, lecture series and stand-up comedy.
