Opened prior to 1941, the historic Orpheum Theater in Kodiak operated as a single-screen movie house. It was closed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It had reopened by 2022.

kencmcintyre how can say this is not the Orpheum? The sign on the front of the overhang, aka, marquee, says “Orpheum Theater”?
closed in 2020 With precautionary measures against coronavirus in place throughout Alaska, which among other directives mandate the shuttering of entertainment facilities until April 1, Kodiak’s 50-year-old movie theater is in danger of closing its doors for good.
The coronavirus mandate is just the latest in a series of unfortunate events, from an unusually harsh winter to rising movie prices, that have made it increasingly difficult for the Kodiak Orpheum Theatre’s owner, John “Rusty” Fletcher, to keep the long-standing business running.
