Bayview Playhouse

The article on the Hollywood Canada website (see above) suggests that the theatre did not become the Bayview Playhouse until they took the building over and renovated it. Actually, it began operating as the Bayview Playhouse not long after its closing as a movie house and several productions were staged there well prior to 1989, including a notable production of “Godspell” around 1973 that starred the then little- known actors Victor Garber, Gilda Radner, Martin Short, Andrea Martin, and Eugene Levy.
