Historical Note: The Orpheum Theater was constructed in 1922 on the northeast corner of First Street and Broadway in Wichita, Kansas. It was said to have been the most important vaudeville theater in Wichita and was known for its excellent facilities and acoustic properties. Many first-rate movies were also shown there through the years. There came a time when the lights were turned off and the building was vacated, but in recent years it has been revived and restored by the Orpheum Performing Arts Centre, Ltd., a not-for-profit organization. The historical Orpheum is today the venue for special events.
