The Orpheum Gets A New Name

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The sign on the building still says "Orpheum," but Foxborough's local theater has a new name.

The Orpheum Theatre has been renamed the Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center. The name change has been reflected in the theatre's logo and on their website.

Rodman, the wife of Rodman Ford President Don Rodman, helped create the Marilyn Rodman Theatre for Kids which sends inner city kids at risk to Broadway shows, and many other community based philanthropic endeavors.

The Orpheum/Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center had their grand opening last weekend and reopened in September. Since the fall, the theater has had a scheduled packed with live performances, movies, plays, and hands-on classes.

Theater representatives Bob Hickey and Rob Canfield recently discussed the reopening on Foxborough Central.
