The Ed Mirvish Theatre, situated near Yonge–Dundas Square in Toronto, is a renowned venue for performing arts with a rich historical background. Operated by Mirvish Productions, this theater boasts a seating capacity of approximately 2,300 seats across two levels.

Originally opened in August 1920, the theater was skillfully designed by Thomas W. Lamb to accommodate vaudeville performances and screenings of films. Initially known as the Pantages Theatre, it derived its name from Alexander Pantages, a prominent theater manager, and magnate. Following its transformation into a multiplex in 1973, the theater was temporarily renamed the Imperial Six, having been called the Imperial Theatre from 1930 to 1973. In 1989, the original name, Pantages Theatre, was reinstated until 2001 when it was changed to the Canon Theatre. In 2011, as a tribute to Ed Mirvish, an esteemed American-Canadian businessman, philanthropist, and theatrical impresario, the theater was renamed the Ed Mirvish Theatre.
