Orpheum Theatre, Historic theater in downtown Phoenix, United States
The Orpheum Theatre features Mediterranean Revival architecture with a 1,364-seat auditorium and decorative plasterwork throughout its grand interior spaces.
Built in 1929 for $750,000, the theater served as a crucial stop between Los Angeles and Denver for traveling vaudeville shows on the Orpheum Circuit.
The ceiling of the auditorium creates an illusion of an outdoor Mediterranean courtyard with painted twilight skies and mechanical systems that project moving clouds.
The venue offers guided tours on alternating Tuesdays, allowing visitors to explore both public spaces and backstage areas while learning about its architectural details.
The theater houses a Wurlitzer organ with 30 ranks, originally from the Paramount Theatre in Middletown, which performs during special Silent Sunday events.
