tripadvisorBeautiful theater. Restored years ago but in excellent condition. Just stopped in and allowed to just walk around the theater on our own. Would love to be in town and attend a movie or other event. Staff are very friendly and informative. Definitely a step back in time.
Morethis is a beautiful old theater, just go in the front entrance and they will explain your free self guided tour[can't go in the projection room, or on the stage proper.] i always leave a donation for them. at present to go up into the baloneys, you may need to go to the left side. to go downstairs it is the same, go to the left side. you can see the dressing rooms, some of the mechanics under the stage, and you can walk all the way up the tunnel and back up the the foyer if you like.
MoreThe paramount is steeped in history and is just magical. I LOVE going there and watching pretty much anything. I can't WAIT to bring my daughter here when we visit next!!!
MoreWe took an evening to attend the Paramount Theater's presentation of the original film West Side Story and enjoyed the film nearly as much as we enjoyed being in the Paramount. For those who have never been there or attended one of their presentations on film or live on stage, I heartily recommend a visit at your earliest convenience. The theater is wonderful and the staff is knowledgeable and accomodating. An outstanding evening of entertainment. Try it and you are bound to return.
MoreWhoever had the idea to save and renovate this theater should be praised and admired. The building is nicely done; I'm old enough to remember that this is what movie theaters always looked like, and it's nice to have one come back.We went to a showing of When Harry Met Sally and enjoyed the crowd, the ambiance and the theater itself.
