The theater continued to show movies until 1983 as the Saxon Theatre . By then, the theater began to deteriorate along with others in the area both in appearance and in programming. In the mid-90s Emerson College purchased the theater and brought it back to its original Beaux-Arts splendor. The theater today is a performing arts center for both Emerson and the community at large. It is the home base of Opera Boston as well as frequently staging shows by New England Conservatory , Teatro Lirico D'Europa and the Boston Gay Men's Chorus . The theater has again been renamed, the Cutler Majestic Theatre, after donors Ted and Joan Benard-Cutler. It is listed on the National Register Of Historic Places , the Massachusetts Register of Historic Places, and is a "Boston Historic Landmark". It was commissioned by Eben Dyer Jordan, son of the founder of Jordan Marsh , a Boston-based chain of Department Store s. The theatre is located at 219 Tremont Street in Boston's theater district. It seats just under 1,200 people. EXTERNAL LINKS |
