Théâtre Outremont

Montréal


Built in 1929, this theater was both a repertory cinema and a major concert hall until it was shuttered in the late 1980s. The municipality of Outremont later brought it back to life and the theater was reopened in 2001. Today, the repertoire is wide-ranging, with concerts (jazz, folk, flamenco, blues), dance performances (ballet, modern) and family events (marionettes, animated films).

There are also regular Monday film screenings (usually at 4pm and 7:30pm), which features indie cinema from around the globe.
