Aberdeen had many great theaters one could attend, including
the Capitol, the Orpheum, the Lyric, and the World. Unfortunately, they have gone away except the
Capitol remains on Main Street, as strong as ever. Who can forget Paul Guttmann Solomon’s
father, Michael Guttmann, running the Orpheum Theater and Mike Baldridge was a
fixture there as an Usher. Let’s ask
Mike Baldridge to share his memories from the Orpheum with us!
