Emerson Paramount Center's Robert J. Orchard Stage

Plan Your Visit

Originally a 1930's cinema palace, the Robert J. Orchard Stage was restored in lively Art Deco style and evokes the thrill of American cinema's Golden Age. The largest auditorium operated by the Emerson College Office of the Arts, the 572-seat Robert J. Orchard Stage hosts dance, theater, music, speakers, and much more.

The main entrance is tucked away on Washington Street, and is easily accessible by both the Park Street Greene Line T Stop and the Chinatown Orange Line T Stop.

Detailed parking information is available below.

To ensure you are on time for the performance, please arrive early. Specific information about when doors will open for your event will be sent in your pre-show email.
