We’re celebrating the anniversary of our opening as the Majestic Theatre on October 11, 1915. The theatre thrived for decades as a vaudeville house and movie palace, but by the 1970s, it (and the State Theatre next door) was in decline and in need of saving from becoming a Holiday Inn. Repairs mounted, attendance waned, and its future was bleak. Fortunately John Bernardoni, Chuck Eckerman, and Steve Scott got involved to advocate for and save the Paramount.
Every anniversary we celebrate the theatre being saved and well-loved the past 50+ years. We are excited for the Paramount’s future as current work is underway to fully restore it.
