General Info
When Paramount Pictures owned the design, they decided to build movie palaces all over the country, using this theatre as a prototype. For more than 40 years, the Paramount offered the public a variety of entertainment, including "talking pictures," vaudeville, concerts and circus performances.
In 1976, the 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.
