Timeless Elegance at Milwaukee’s Oriental Theater
Join Osher and explore the Oriental Theatre, a theatre designed in 1927 to feel like a “temple of Oriental art” with design elements borrowed from Indian, Moorish, Islamic and Byzantine architectural styles. In 1972, the Oriental Theatre was sold to a trio of Milwaukee brothers, who revitalized the building while protecting its cultural and decorative significance. Milwaukee Film, a local, nonprofit organization, took over the operations in 2018. Milwaukee Film staff will take Osher guests on a tour of the theater along with a “behind-the-scenes” look at the backstage and the projection room.
