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.

I love seeing movie theatres that are still in business after so many years. It really keeps the history of the past alive. It’s fantastic! If only the NuWilshire Theatre was still around…Ughh…I miss working there.

A Kimball theater organ size 3/9 was installed in the Orpheum Theater in 1927.
Boy, they do everything except sell cigarettes out the stage door! They seem to be making a go of things, and that is great to see.
