The Music Hall, a heritage building at 147 Danforth Ave., has been closed for nonpayment of rent.
A spokesperson for Sterling Bailiffs Inc. confirmed a company representative seized the property earlier this week and changed the locks, posting a notice to terminate the lease due to unpaid rent of $44,857.86.
The property is leased to Glyn Laverick, owner of Ellipsis Leisure Retail. Neither Laverick nor the property’s owner, Electra Films Ltd., could be reached for comment.
The 91-year-old building, which began as a vaudeville theatre, served for many years as a second-run movie house called The Century before undergoing renovations in 2005 and reopening as a theatre venue.
The Music Hall played host to Dancap Productions’ Toxic Avenger, which opened last Oct. 31, closing on Jan. 2. Most recently, Montreal indie band Arcade Fire played a concert there on June 11.
