Early years
The theatre was built in 1911 as a private residence and then converted as a movie theatre in 1919 known as The Victory. It was renamed The Embassy in 1934 and a host of other names over the next 60 years:
In the 1970s the Festival Theatre was a key venue of the Toronto International Film Festival (then known as the Festival of Festivals).
Rebirth
In 1993 the building was renovated for live theatre productions and renamed The New Yorker Theatre.
Second rebirth
In 2004 and 2005, most of the building was demolished with only the facade preserved and became the new state-of-the-art live theatre and concert venue known as The Panasonic Theatre. In 2005, the building was acquired by Live Nation and in 2008 by Mirvish Productions.
