About The Paramount Theatre
The Paramount Theatre is the center for performing arts, entertainment and arts education in Aurora,
the second largest city in Illinois. Named "One of Chicago's Top 10 Attended Theatres" by the League
of Chicago Theatres, the 1,888-seat Paramount Theatre, located in the heart of downtown Aurora at
23 E. Galena Blvd., is nationally renowned for the quality and caliber of its presentations, superb
acoustics and historic beauty.
The Paramount Theatre opened on September 3, 1931. Designed by nationally renowned theater
architects C.W. and George L. Rapp, the theater captures a unique Venetian setting portrayed in the
art deco influence of the 1930s. The first air-conditioned building outside of Chicago, the Paramount
offered the public a variety of entertainment, including "talking pictures," vaudeville, concerts and
circus performances for more than 40 years. In 1976, Aurora Civic Center Authority purchased the
Paramount and closed the theater for restoration. The $1.5 million project restored the Paramount to
its original grandeur. On April 29, 1978, the Paramount Arts Center opened, offering a variety of
theatrical, musical, comedy, dance and family programming. In 2006, a 12,000-square-foot, twostory Grand Gallery lobby was added, with a new, state-of-the-art box office, café and art gallery.
Today, the Paramount produces its own Broadway Musical series, presents an eclectic array of
comedy, music, dance and family shows, and on most Mondays, screens a classic movie. For tickets
and information, go to ParamountAurora.com or call (630) 896-6666.
The Paramount Theatre is one of three live performance venues programmed and managed by the
Aurora Civic Center Authority (ACCA). ACCA also oversees the Paramount’s “sister” stage, the
intimate, 173-seat Copley Theatre located directly across the street from the Paramount at
8 E. Galena Blvd., as well as RiverEdge Park, downtown Aurora’s summer outdoor concert venue.
The Paramount Theatre continues to expand its artistic and institutional boundaries under the
guidance of Tim Rater, President and CEO, Aurora Civic Center Authority; Jim Corti, Artistic
Director, Paramount Theatre; a dedicated Board of Trustees and a devoted staff of live theater and
music professionals.
