The Orpheum Theater Center consists of three distinct (rentable) spaces; The 688 seat Orpheum Theater that was built in 1913. The Old “Rainbow Bar” that houses the 450 seat Anne Zabel Studio Theater as well as a classroom space that will accommodate 75-100. Front and back “Link” structures join the buildings together and will create a new lobby space as well as provide new loading dock and storage.

The City of Sioux Falls bought the Theater Complex from the Sioux Falls Community Playhouse in the spring of 2002 and hired SMG to manage

the property in 2003. Since taking over the venue we have been busy assisting the City with nearly $2 million in renovations and completion of the Link and Studio Theater.

A part of the renovation has been the creation of new office space for Channel 16 (City Link) and the Municipal Band. Additional tenants will be added in the future.

Construction is on schedule for a February 17 opening of the new space and the pictures will give you a pretty good idea of what the finished spaces will look like.
