Originally built for
theatre
, one of three theaters commissioned in Boston by Eben Dyer Jordan, son of the founder of
Jordan Marsh
, a Boston-based chain of
department stores
. The Majestic was converted to accommodate
vaudeville
shows in the 1920s and eventually into a movie house in the 1950s. The change to film came with renovations that transformed the lobby and covered up much of
John Galen Howard
's original
Beaux-Arts architecture
.
The theater continued to show movies until 1983 as the Saxon Theatre. By then, the theater began to deteriorate both in appearance and in programming.
In the mid-1980s
Emerson College
purchased the theater and restored it to its original Beaux-Arts appearance.

The theater today is a performing arts center for both Emerson College and the community at large. It was the home base of
Opera Boston
. It is frequently staging shows by
New England Conservatory
, Teatro Lirico D'Europa,
Celebrity Series of Boston
,
Emerson College
's Emerson Stage company and the Boston Gay Men's Chorus. In 2003 the theater was again renamed: the Cutler Majestic Theatre, after donors Ted and Joan Benard-Cutler.
It is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places
(as part of the
Piano Row District
), the
Massachusetts
Register of Historic Places, and is a "Boston Historic Landmark". The theatre is located at 219 Tremont Street in the
Boston Theater District
