The Orpheum Theatre, a non-profit, 501.c3 performing arts center is supported by the Memphis Development Foundation. In 1976, the Foundation was incorporated to purchase and “save” the old movie palace and to serve as a cornerstone to other development projects in the downtown area. The Orpheum Theatre provides quality, diverse entertainment and education programming to the Memphis region while preserving and improving the historic Orpheum Theatre and its role in downtown Memphis development.
