Orpheum Theater Film Series 2026

Here’s an experience you can’t get anywhere else, and it’s not too expensive. The Orpheum will host their film series again this year and its now back in the newly restored theater.

$10 for a move is a pretty good deal. However, the price is even lower for season pass holders. Season passes are around $100 + Fee for the year, unless you see this article when they’ are having their’re offering 50% off Season Passes for the Film Series. This deal typically runs from mid-December to January or until they sell their limited number of discounted season passes.

This is a great way to check out this historic venue at a reasonable price.

The newly renovated Orpheum is now back open. It underwent a massive 15-month, $13 million interior restoration. The project added tiered, ADA-accessible seating; new sound and lighting; new HVAC; and new flooring and seating on the main floor and balcony. The venue is the oldest and the last of the 17 remaining original Opheum theaters in the United States to undergo a full restoration.

The Orpheum Theatre in Wichita, Kansas, is a historic venue that was recently renovated and is now open. Here are some key details about the Orpheum Theatre in Wichita:

  • The Orpheum Theatre opened its doors in 1922 and quickly became a hub for entertainment, hosting vaudeville shows, silent films, and live performances.
  • The Orpheum holds a special place in American history as the first atmospheric theater in the United States and the oldest one still standing.
  • Some of the live acts that have performed at the Orpheum are: Louie Armstrong, Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, Harry Blackstone, Bela Lugosi, Ella Fitzgerald, and many more well-known performers on the Orpheum stage.
  • It was constructed at an initial cost of $750, 000 using the best possible building materials available at the time. It was truly built to last, and today it is still extremely structurally sound.
