Just think‌18 years! Nearly three-quarters of a million people have come through our doors, hundreds of dazzling acts have come and gone from Rutland , scores of community organizations have used our hall for engagement, awareness and entertainment. We launched the re-introduction of the movies (2009) and then the expansion to a world class exhibition system for all manner of broadcasts and filmed entertainment (2013), allowing us to achieve our long held dream of de-mystifying the elitism of the theatre, via offerings of free movies and Sports Live in HD. Once we landed on the exact re-engineering of what the theatre was to be, we grew, with your support and encouragement, by leaps and bounds in both number of dates the doors are open, the vastly expanded annual budget ($1,900,000) and the nationally significant acts we bring to our stage.

We live in a tremendously exciting town, enjoying a renaissance that no one thought possible just a few years ago and we proudly take our place as a driver of this fantastic growth and expansion.

We want you to know that the focus is always on you, our loyal audience. Our active programming mission is to program not to our desires but, rather, to yours. This blend of attractions for children and families, sophisticated theatre, all genres of music, a dash of dance and international, the leading comedians of the day and a vibrant use of the screen is like calibrating the exact ingredients, spices and sauces of a perfect meal. It is truly the art of what we do and it must be and will be always focused entirely on the tastes and desires of our community.

Our two-year journey, with Castleton University, through the National Election Cycle enters its final phase with the Presidential (and Vice President) debates, a Gubernatorial Debate (sponsored by VTDigger), THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF AMERICA: ELECTION EDITION from the Reduced Shakespeare Company and then the big party celebrating the national election on November 8th. It has been a tremendous new use of the hall, heightened discourse, and hopefully and a more informed electorate.

In closing, we cannot begin to thank the hundreds of Sponsors and Members who have stepped up to help us meet our contributed income needs. With a new annual budget of $1,900,000 we will raise for $575,000 for our 16/17 Season from you our loyal business and individuals.

We are so very grateful for your vision and generosity.

We are sincerely humbled and grateful,

The Paramount Theatre 2016/2017

T N U O M A PAR HISTORY In the early part of the 20th century, many called The Playhouse Theatre of Rutland, Vermont one of the finest theatres in America and very few, reportedly, were more artistically designed or appointed. Built in 1912 & 1913 by George T. Chaffee. The Theatre opened on January 16, 1914.

The classical style exterior architecture of the building reflected the “City Beautiful” movement of the time, while the interior took on the look of a Victorian opera house. The theatre provided seating for 1000 patrons in the orchestra, balcony, and 6 boxes flanking the proscenium arch.

Du Barry rose tapestry covered the sidewalls, and velour hangings of the same shade adorned the boxes. The ceilings were beautifully decorated with gold leaf, and a large oval painting representing music, lyric art, and the dramas shown among the 150 softly glowing incandescent ceiling lights. The floors of the auditorium, aisles, boxes, and lobby were carpeted in green with wilton.

Top performers traveling via the Rutland Railroad between Montreal and Boston, would stop to perform in The Playhouse. Minstrel shows, grand and light opera, and vaudeville, and appearances

by Tom Thumb, Will Rogers, Sarah Bernhardt, Ethel Barrymore, and The Great Houdini, delighted local audiences.

When “talking pictures” came to town, The Playhouse embraced the movie phenomenon, and as a motion picture theatre, was renamed The Paramount, in 1931. Presentations alternated between “talkies” and vaudeville, until film finally supplanted live performance in popularity. The movies of the 1930s, frivolous or sentimental, were screened at the Paramount; “Gone with the Wind”, among others, attracted huge audiences.

The onset of World War II brought more patriotic and inspirational films to the stage.

This patriotism and inspiration gripped the community as Rutland members of the 43rd Infantry Division were given a farewell send off from the stage in the summer of 1941. Later, rallies to raise pledges for war bonds were conducted in the theatre.

Activity continued through the 1950s and 1960s and scores of Rutland residents, who later became prominent in business or politics,

got their start as ushers or projectionists. In the 1970s, however, like many small theatres across the country, The Movies, as the theatre was now known, paralleled the decline of the film industry, and closed its doors in 1975.

The theatre sat empty and neglected for nearly a decade, until the Center on the Alley, Inc. was formed to purchase the theatre for use as a performing arts center. In 1985, the Paramount Theatre was mortgaged to the Paramount Center, Inc. and three years later the organization assumed ownership of the property. Although in a state of disrepair, the theatre was structurally sound and essentially intact, with much of its decorative detailing remaining.

As a result of recommendations of architectural and feasibility studies begun in the mid 1980s and early 1990s, the Richardson Block building, adjacent to the theatre, was purchased in 1995 with an eye toward future expansion. The architectural firm of Nimtz - Berryhill - Figiel developed the plan uniting the two buildings, combining modern amenities with a fully restored 850 seat historic theatre.

In January of 1999 the John A. Russell Corporation was selected as the construction manager for the historic restoration, and construction began that spring. Extensive historic research was conducted to determine original colors and textures, and the Du Barry rose fabric stretched over the wall surfaces was recreated by the F. Schumacher Company of New York. Artisans began the daunting tasks of repairing the damaged ornamental plaster, retouching the stenciled ceiling, and of reapplying gold leaf to plaster surfaces.

The successful restoration of the Paramount Theatre was completed in February 2000 and an Opening Night Gala in March 2000 honored the artisans and contributors who made the historic project possible.

Once again, the Paramount Theatre has assumed its role as an arts, cultural, and educational leader, and as a significant and valuable community resource. We’re proud of what we have to offer and hope that you will support us in celebrating community and creativity.

Although it has been over 40 years since Bridge Over Troubled Water was recorded, Art Garfunkel's image and signature vocal remain among the most instantly recognizable in popular music.

His "beautiful countertenor," as Neil Strauss described Art's voice in The New York Times, is clear and resonant, surely one of the finest instruments in all of popular music, and a time-honored friend to a world of listeners.

The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. The group was born in December, 1981 when some staffers for Senator Charles Percy were planning entertainment for a Christmas party. Their first idea was to stage a nativity play, but in the whole Congress they couldn't find three wise men or a virgin. So, they decided to dig into the headlines of the day, and they created song parodies & skits which conveyed a special brand of satirical humor. In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.

With over 20 years of making music under his belt, Keller Williams is best knows as a one-man band for his exciting and unpredictable live stage show.

For the “Shut the Folk Up and Listen" album, Keller goes back to his earliest roots: stripped down and loop-less with just him and his guitar and alongside one of his biggest musical heroes, Leo Kottke.

Famed acoustic player Leo Kottke is known for a fingerpicking style that draws on blues, jazz, and folk music, and for syncopated, polyphonic melodies. Kottke overcame a series of personal obstacles, including partial loss of hearing and a nearly career-ending bout with tendon damage in his right hand to emerge as a widely recognized master of his instrument. In concert, Kottke intersperses humorous and often bizarre monologues with vocal and instrumental selections from throughout his career, played solo on his 6- and 12- string guitars.

A tradition of peace, harmony and spirituality forged through years of struggle, invasion and war, with the constant threat to their sacred temple, led the Shaolin to create a unique form of martial art, based on their spiritual beliefs ... they called it ... Kung Fu.

For more than fifty years, Del McCoury’s music has defined authenticity for hard core bluegrass fans as well as a growing number of fans among those only vaguely familiar with the genre. McCoury is something special, a living link to the days when bluegrass was made only in hillbilly honkytonks, schoolhouse shows and on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, yet also a commandingly vital presence today, from prime time and late night talk show TV to music festivals where audiences number in the hundreds of thousands.

Dear Friends: Now is the moment to transform your passion for The Paramount Theatre into a legacy.

The Paramount Theatre, one of New England’s rare and beautiful performance halls has enriched the lives of Vermont residents from the original vision of George T. Chaffee to the remarkable re-vitalization we all enjoy today. Our growth, artistically and economically, the quality of our programming and civic engagement initiatives have made the Paramount the center of South Central Vermont life and a leader in the burgeoning Renaissance of Rutland.

The Paramount Theatre is embarking on its first-ever “Legacy Giving” campaign and we welcome the opportunity to discuss how you can strengthen the future of The Paramount and support both your personal and philanthropic objectives through a variety of giving options.

To help sustain the success of The Paramount, a planned or deferred gift is a meaningful way to leave a legacy of support to an organization that has played an important role in your life.

You don’t need to be wealthy to make a planned gift. With thoughtful planning, you have the opportunity to make a significant gift that will benefit the future of The Paramount and to support our beloved National Landmark hall for the benefit of future generations.

On behalf of the deeply committed staff and board, we thank you for your commitment to our vision for an engaged community and we invite you to consider A GIFT OF A LIFETIME.
