This is the Randolph Theatre which is in an old church building on Bathurst St. The Gothic Revival church was built in 1888 but by the mid 1960s the congregation had shrunk and the church became a theatre.
Theater has always had sacred Roots in ceremony. I think it's entirely appropriate and wonderful that that great building was saved. Thanks Pat for sharing it Aloha

Quite distinctive.
This is the fait of many downtown churches. On the positive side, the building has found a new life, and will continue to be part of the community.
It very beautiful.
It was always a theatre of sorts — in broadest terms.
That's a good idea!

I expect we'll have a surplus of old churches in the future.
A great reuse of the building.
A great building
Sticking to its original reason for being, a place of theatre.
Looks impressive!
Wonder how it affects the acoustic! Nice "new" life of the building.
Fine looking building.
It is a beautiful building, I am glad it has a new purpose as a theatre. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
