About Orpheum Stage Door Theatre
The Orpheum Stage Door Theatre is a historic, intimate venue in Madison, Wisconsin. Opened in 1969 as the annex to the larger Orpheum Theatre, the Stage Door has a storied past, including midnight screenings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show in the mid-1970s and performances by notable acts like Red Romero. In 2012, it was reabsorbed into the Orpheum space, while the adjacent venue remains a cornerstone of Madison’s performing arts scene.
