MARQUEE The Orpheum Theatre - Memphis

November 13-18, 2012

2012-2013 BROADWAY SEASON SPONSORED BY



It’s a fact! The next six weeks are going to be the most important weeks of 2012 to the Orpheum Theatre. Here is why: 1. Jersey Boys, playing December 4-16, is expected to receive an extremely positive, enthusiastic reaction from the anticipated 45,000-plus Orpheum supporters who will attend these performances. I hope you will make plans to join us. This incredible production might just be the perfect holiday event for your family, friends, or employees. 2. The Orpheum’s Centre for the Performing Arts and Leadership, which will begin construction in May, is the biggest project the Foundation has undertaken since the 1996 stage expansion. We are approximately 60% toward our goal of $10 million. This project is seen as a major benefit to our community, so we encourage you to consider the Centre as you make your year-end contributions. No gift is too small or too large. Our generous contributors to-date are listed on pages 32 and 33, and I welcome you to call me if you would like to discuss how you or your company can be added to this growing list of supporters. Together, with this new Centre, we will give the next generation an opportunity to succeed. 3. Our Broadway Series packages are closing in on an important benchmark. Packages can include as few as four shows, and giving the gift of Broadway to your loved ones for the holidays could increase our total series owners to over 6,000. So let me thank you for being with us for this performance, and I hope that you will keep the Orpheum in mind as the holidays approach and the year comes to an end. Pat Halloran | President & CEO Memphis Development Foundation - Orpheum Theatre
