Local producer bids on city's historic theatres
Rising Toronto impresario Aubrey Dan wants to buy what he calls the "beautiful crown jewels" of the Ontario capital's theatrical venues, the 2,200-seat Canon and the 701-seat Panasonic. Dan confirmed yesterday that his company, Dancap Productions, "is participating in the bidding process" for the two heritage theatres, both of which are located on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto and both of which were put up for sale by their current owner, Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Live Nation Inc. "You need theatres to produce and to present, for sure," Dan said. "There's no question about that." Live Nation, spun off in 2005 as the theatrical division of media giant Clear Channel, announced earlier this year that it was selling 13 theatres across North America, 11 of them in the United States, to concentrate on what it calls its "core business" of live music.
