The Orpheum Performing Arts Center is a spectacular, 12,500 square foot, 245-seat theater. The stage is 40 feet wide, 35 feet deep, and features a sprung floor, making it perfect for dance. It's also a great venue for other performances that require a larger space. The auditorium is beautiful, and the space is loved by audiences and performers alike. The theater was designed by Hugh Hardy, one of the best-known theater architects in the U.S.
