When we arrived here in 2011, we said that we were going to do the minimum time time and leave this place as soon as possible. Shortly after arriving, we were driving around getting familiar with the city and came across the Paramount. We loved the building, and we just had to visit it. We were amazed by it and thought it couldnt get any better. My kids fell in love with Indiana Jones because of the Paramount. We have watched all kinds of movies and shows. After every event my wife and I are like, there is no way that they cant top this event. We always task about the excellent job that George has done with the building, bringing different event abs even allowing the Scouts to manage parking. After the Randy Traviss concert, this time Im sure that it will be hard to top that one but still. We are ashtrays looking forward to our next event. Best place in town. Thank you for keeping the history alive for those of us who are sentimental about it.

We enjoy going to the Paramount. Its a beautiful theater. They recently replaced all of the seating downstairs, and the seats are comfortable. Acoustics are great. Ive attended movies, plays, church services, and musical productions here. The concession stand is downstairs. There is an accessible restroom on the main floor, and others are located downstairs. The decor is classic, and there are twinkling lights in the ceiling of the theater.

Went there for a rock concert. The venue is nice we lioved the asthetics of it, the ceiling had a real cool lighting effect. The sound system was on point. They however did run out of their alcoholic beverages. It was cool that they gave you a koozie with each beer purchased. I do not know if that is a regular occurrence. Regular concessions were located on the basement level. Which consisted of the norm for a theater.

I can see the appeal for sure but unfortunately it wasnt for us. The screen is small and the audio was not good. We left at intermission because my wife and I were both so uncomfortable and could barely make out the sound. My daughter stayed and finished the movie though.

Exactly what I always wanted in a theater! Such a beautiful historical theater and events venue. They have great films each year as well as hosting plays, ballets and concerts. This year we went to see White Christmas on the big screen there and it was so much great fun! Families with kids all dressed up and meeting up with friends and extended family for the movie. Tons of seating as it has multiple floors. So there s floor seats and various balcony sections. They have a concessions in the lowest level and the upper floor of one balcony has a small drink bar at many events. Always very clean and enjoyable venue. Some events are every year and so you may need to purchase tickets ahead and head there extra early to get close parking as well as preferred seating options. We are on the mailing list and we follow them on social media to stay up to date with their upcoming events. Totally worth it and important part of the local history to support!

I really enjoyed visiting this theatre! It is very beautiful and the production was amazing! The only negative complaint that I have is for such a huge theatre, 12 stalls is not enough to accommodate such a large crowd, especially for females, in a timely manner. But I will definitely return here and wait the long line if I must.
