Tour the Orpheum Theatre and Halloran Centre
As you make your way through the opulent art deco rooms of the Orpheum, our docents will tell you the history of this incredible building. Learn about how dedicated Memphians in the late 1970s saved the theatre from demolition. Delight in the colorful and creative murals that stars and productions have painted on the backstage walls. Find out how much you really know about Mary, our sweet and mischievous little ghost. Journey through time shedding light on an era when segregation cast its shadow in The Balcony Project.
Next door at the Halloran Centre, you'll see how we put our nonprofit mission into practice. The 39,000 square-foot venue is the home of our education programs and second venue. Learn how this beautiful state-of-the-art building serves 30,000 students, teachers, and families each year. And if you haven't seen a show at the Halloran Centre, you'll see why so many performers and music-lovers enjoy the intimate performances and listening experiences.
