The Fox Theatre is an independent cinema which was opened by Arthur Brooks Webster in 1914, originally as The Theatre Without A Name. Name changes to the Pastime & The Prince Edward preceded its eventual adoption of the Fox Theatre moniker in 1937, and it has remained a mainstay of the Beach Community ever since.
In addition to offering the best in contemporary, classic, and cult films, The Fox strives consistently to hold innovative events and provide thought-provoking, community-minded programming. The cinema is licensed, serving craft beer and wine in addition to offering Toronto’s finest popcorn!
