2023 EVENTS NOW ON SALE!
THE ORPHEUM THEATER PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Saturday June 24, 2023
New Bedford, MA
SESSION A IS SOLD OUT
Session B: 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Join Silver Crescent Photography and Buried In Time Photography at the famous Orpheum Theater in New Bedford. The building, designed by Louis E. Destremps, was constructed by the French Sharpshooter's Club of New Bedford to house both a ballroom and armed shooting range. It opened on April 15, 1912 (the same day the Titanic sank).
The Sharpshooters Club leased the theatre to the Orpheum Circuit of Boston, which brought a series of vaudeville and variety performers to New Bedford. By the 1920s the theatre showed motion pictures, as well.
This Orpheum theatre is believed to be the second oldest in the nation (it was built a year after the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles).
When the theatre opened, it seated 1,500 people. The theatre closed in 1958–59 and was only opened for special events. The sharpshooters club sold it in 1962, and it was used as storage by a tobacco company. The back of the theatre currently houses a supermarket, but the rest of the space is still empty. The building is currently privately owned.
This exclusive event is offered for $85.00 per person. All day passes are available for $130.00 each and are very limited. Models are permitted for $25.00 and must be accompanied by a paid photographer. For further information, please contact David at silvercrescentphotography@outlook.com
