Theatre Denise-Pelletier

Viewing: Photo | Street View

Opened on 28th March 1930 as the Granada Theatre, it was built for the United Amusement Theatres chain. Designed by architect Emmanuel Arthur Doucet with the splendid ‘atmospheric’ style interior carried out by interior designed Emmanuel Briffa. Seating was provided on one level in a stadium plan, with a raised section at the rear.

The Granada Theatre had a double bill policy in English until the early 1960’s and then French after. It closed as a movie theatre in 1976.

It was purchased by a Montreal theatre company Nouvelle Compagnie Theatrale who did some alterations when they enlarged the stage and removed the original proscenium arch, replacing it with a much plainer one. It reopened as the Theatre Denise-Pelletier on 14th October 1977.
