The Pantages Playhouse Theatre was opened in 1914. The original interior of the two-storey building is still visible including marble sheathing and decorative plaster ceilings in the lobby. It can seat more than 1,400 people including 922 on the main floor.
The City of Winnipeg originally purchased the theatre in the 1930s. It sold the building roughly a decade later before eventually re-acquiring it.
