To ensure a bright future for the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center, a unique entity has been formed to assist in this most deserving project: The Orpheum Society.

This organization takes its name from the famed “Orpheum Circuit,” a chain of vaudeville and movie houses that operated from 1886 to 1927, when it merged with the Keith-Albee theatre chain, ultimately becoming Radio-Keith-Orpheum (RKO) Company. RKO became one of the major Hollywood studios of the 1930s and 1940s. Interestingly, the dressing rooms at the Keith Albee Performing Arts Center are all named for stops on the original Orpheum Circuit.

Membership in The Orpheum Society is available to persons who desire to become a vital part of the long-term renovation and revitalization of the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center.  Annual membership is $5,000 or more.

In addition to your tax write-off, members will receive publicity in the Keith-Albee semi-annual e-newsletter, recognition on its public donor board, and name(s) published on the website.

We also give thanks to those charter members of the Orpheum Society:
