Four-year-old Jillian McCandless performed in a unicorn suit and tutu with her friends in a newly renovated children’s theater made to look like the Orpheum Theatre.

The Role Play Theatre at the Children’s Museum of Memphis was meticulously designed to replicate the original Downtown showplace. The museum’s team took hundreds of photos of the Orpheum and superimposed them on the replica theater’s walls. They even installed similar carpet from the same manufacturer of the Downtown theater’s floor covering.

The theater setting is part of the upgrades and renovations at the Children’s Museum on the southwest corner of Central Avenue and Glenn Rogers Sr. Street, formerly Hollywood Street. Museum officials presented a tour of the changes last week to promote the upgrades.

The children’s theater was part of a larger project that began in 2019 and included updates to the Great River and the Toddler Castle and Gardens. The Great River upgrade allows children to explore hydroelectric power and learn about the Mississippi River’s ecosystem.
