The Outremont Theatre was built in 1928 based on plans by architect René Charbonneau. It opened the following year.

The theatre operated both as a movie theatre and a concert hall.

Musicians who have performed at the Outremont Theatre include: Pauline Julien, Louise Forestier, Félix Leclerc, Diane Dufresne, as Paul Piché, Richard Séguin, Tom Waits and The Beautiful South.

The theatre closed its doors in the early 1990s. It was purchased by the city of Outremont in 1994, in order to restore the theater which was recognized as a National Historic Site of Canada the previous year.[1] Following the renovations, it reopened on March 20, 2001.

gollark: Interesting idea but dealing with file handles would be irritating. I could just steal the code from Opus I guess and stick a note in the licenses.
