ArtHistory

If you’ve ever wanted to visit an old-fashioned movie theatre, this is your chance! The Circle Theatre was built by Oliver Stewart in 1938, making it the oldest theatre in town. This town’s first structure with air conditioning was the Circle Theatre. Every Thursday, Alliston businesses closed early to let town’s people go to the movies. The first movie screened in this theatre was “Artists and Models.” Today this theatre is still operational, owned by Pete and Kate Vander Zaag and is still a town favourite for all its residents.
