The Bathurst Street Theatre is a theatre in Toronto, Ontario, that is housed in a former church. The Gothic revival building is located at 736 Bathurst Street at Lennox, one traffic light to the south of Bloor Street, Honest Ed's, the Bathurst Street Subway Station, and across Bathurst from Central Technical School. The 500 seat theatre is in the former church sanctuary while the smaller 100 seat Annex Theatre is in an adjoining building at 730 Bathurst Street.
The buildings are owned by and house the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts. The theatres are used for the school's production and are also rented out to travelling shows and local theatre companies.

Famous quotes containing the words street and/or theatre:
“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
“Art is for [the Irish] inseparable from artifice: of that, the theatre is the home. Possibly, it was England made me a novelist.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
