Cutler Majestic Theatre – Tremont Street, Boston, Massachusetts

The Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College, in Boston, Massachusetts, is a 1903 "Beaux Arts" style theater, designed by the architect John Galen Howard. The Majestic was converted to accommodate vaudeville shows in the 1920’s and eventually into a movie house in the 1950’s. The change to film came with renovations that transformed the lobby and covered up much of John Galen Howard’s original Beaux-Arts architecture.

The theater continued to show movies until 1983 as the Saxon Theatre. By then, the theater began to deteriorate both in appearance and in programming. In the mid-1980’s Emerson College purchased the theater and restored it to its original Beaux-Arts appearance. The theater today is a performing arts center for both Emerson College 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, Celebrity Series of Boston, Emerson College’s Emerson Stage company 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". The theatre is located at 219 Tremont Street in Boston’s theater district. It seats just under 1,200 people.
