2007 Preservation AwardsThe Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College, Theater District
The Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College, Theater District

Owner/Developer: Emerson College
Architect: Elkus Manfredi Architects, Ltd.

Built in 1903 and converted to a movie theater in 1956, this theatre closed in 1977. It was bought by Emerson College in 1983. Phase I of the Renovation and Restoration Project involved exterior restoration of the terra cotta, marquee, stained glass and electric lighting on the façade. It also included interior renovations necessary for theatrical performances. Phase II focused on restoration of the stunning interior detailing to its original Beaux Arts grandeur while upgrading the technology of the theatre to modern standards.
