Parlor at the Orpheum Theatre

The Parlor at the Orpheum Theatre transforms a previously underutilized area into an intimate, upscale lounge that enhances the overall patron experience. Designed to complement the historic character of the theatre, the space offers a refined setting for gathering before performances and during intermissions.

Working within the constraints of a landmark venue required careful coordination to preserve architectural integrity while introducing modern finishes and amenities. Every detail, from lighting to material selection, was thoughtfully considered to align with the Orpheum’s history while improving comfort and functionality.

Our team focused on seamless integration, ensuring the new space feels like a natural extension of the theatre rather than a separate addition.

The result is a sophisticated environment that enriches the guest experience and adds a new layer of hospitality to one of Memphis’s most iconic venues.
