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.
