ThePantages Theatre is a historictheatre inMinneapolis,Minnesota. The original building was aBeaux-Arts style twelve-story complex onHennepin Avenue, designed byKees & Colburn and operated byAlexander Pantages, a Greek immigrant who opened 500 theatres.
The building was reduced significantly, to two stories, with an Art Moderne facade and a Beaux Arts interior. The Pantages Theatre innovated themezzanine, and was also the firstair conditioned theatre in Minnesota.
In 1945, the Pantages Theatre was renovated after being purchased byEdmond R. Ruben. It was then sold toTed Mann in 1961; he owned many of the theatres in downtown Minneapolis. The Pantages Theatre closed in 1984, and was renovated and reopened by the City of Minneapolis in 2002. In 2005, the city transferred ownership of its theaters to the Hennepin Theatre Trust.[1]
Since its reopening, the Pantages has been operated by the Historic Theatre Group.[2]
Historic Theatre Group's original partner in booking the Pantages was Clear Channel Entertainment (nowLive Nation). Live Nation sold most of its theatrical properties, including its Minneapolis operations, toKey Brand Entertainment in 2008.[3]
