Support Your Local Nonprofit Theater!

The people who invested in restoring the Chatham Orpheum Theater didn’t just save a building. They helped create a place where memories are made.

They gave children their first movie on the big screen. They created a gathering place for seniors, families, and neighbors. They made sensory-friendly screenings possible for audience members who experience the world a little differently. They gave local non-profits a stage to raise both awareness and support for causes that matter.

They also helped bring great art to Chatham — from beloved classics and independent films to documentaries celebrating some of the greatest artists who ever lived.

And perhaps most importantly, they gave independent filmmakers a home.

A place for bold, personal stories that might never play in a multiplex. A place where artists can connect directly with an audience. A place where someone’s years of hard work can end with a standing ovation.

Because of you, the marquee is still lit.

If you’ve supported the Orpheum before, thank you — deeply and sincerely. And if you’re considering your first gift, know that it reaches somewhere real. It creates opportunities, strengthens community, and helps ensure that this nearly century-old theater continues to inspire future generations.
