The Avon originally opened as the Theatre Albert as a venue for live theatrical productions and vaudeville. By the 1950s, it had become a movie theatre. It was acquired in 1963 by the Stratford Festival of Canada. The Avon has been remodeled twice, first during the early 1960s, and again in 2002 for the 50th anniversary of the Stratford Festival. Today the Avon is one of four Stratford area theatres which present Shakespeare and other live theatre.
