About The Sioux City Orpheum Theatre

Welcome to the home of NUTCRACKER! Magical Christmas Ballet in Sioux City:The Sioux City Orpheum Theatre. The Sioux City Orpheum Theatre, which was designed by the nationally known Chicago firm Rapp & Rapp and constructed in 1927 as part of the national Orpheum Circuit. The major developer and promoter for the theatre was local Sioux City businessman, Arthur Sanford. It was the largest theatre in the State of Iowa at its time. This once opulent vaudeville and moving picture house boasted a large 2,690 seat, six story auditorium complete with a 21 rank Wurlitzer pipe organ, half circle boxes, hand carved detailing, gilded ornamentation, several crystal chandeliers and a hand painted ceiling. But these attributes were covered and removed over time. In 1989 a nonprofit organization, the Orpheum Theatre Preservation Project, Ltd. (OTPP), was established for the purpose of pursuing the fund raising necessary to renovate and reopen the now historic theatre.The historic designs were replicated to match the original appearance in technique and color. Approximately two years and thousands of hours later, the Orpheum Theatre was re-opened on September 15, 2001.
