Built in mid-40's by B & F Theatres - original Oriental mural on walls of circular lobby -original Chinese symbol set in terrazzo floor - became East Indian theatre in 70's/80's - major renovation in late 80's to become multi-media centre - frequented by John Candy (who may have ushered here as a boy) - now a recording studio and film studio - crazy stories of munitions depots and brothels accessed by tunnels in basement.

The studio that is located in this former theater is called Pie in the Sky Studios. They have a website here.

This theatre appears in the movie Youngblood. It's seen at night, with the female lead, Cynthia Gibb, coming out of the lobby, and meeting Rob Lowe after having seen something called "Slumber Party Massacre".

Is there any more info on the munitions and brothels accessed by tunnels? That's great stuff.

The Donlands Theater has a For Rent sign on it (Nov 2006). Recent photos of it and other Toronto area theaters can be seen at:
