Built in 1927, the Orpheum Theatre has accomplished a feat that has eluded nearly every other Orpheum across the country — it is still a glorious first run movie theater. There is also an additional smaller theater that is used for live concerts and art house films.

According to what I have been reading, the Stage Door Theatre is in the process of being removed so they can restore the Orpheum stage to its full original size. This is being done to accommodate bigger shows on the stage. They will still be showing movies but the focus is being shifted to live performances and bigger shows.
