PRESIDENT'S

WELCOME On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff and volunteers, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the historic Paramount Theatre and tonight’s performance. We have put together another exciting and robust slate of shows for the 2017-18 season that is sure to entertain audiences of all ages.

It’s wonderful to see all of the excitement that has surrounded the theatre in recent years. Not only from our performances, but also from our Festival of Trees and Legacy in Stone campaigns, which have all helped promote the theatre to a wider audience. This success is a true testament to the hard work of the talented staff, dedicated volunteers and the continued support from all of you. When the Paramount is thriving, it lifts the entire community around it, including all of the restaurants, bars and other retail establishments, turning downtown Rutland into a vibrant region.

Let me pass along a special thank you to all of our sponsors and Paramount members for your continued financial commitment to the theatre. The generous support we receive from corporate sponsors, individual memberships and in-kind donations, in addition to ticket sales, allow us to continue providing high-quality programming and world-class entertainment throughout the season.

Everyone at the Paramount hopes you enjoy tonight’s performance and we look forward to seeing you throughout the season at future events.

Thanks for joining us tonight and enjoy the show.

Sincerely,

Matt Levandowski President, Board of Directors

WELCOME

Dear Paramount Patrons and Enthusiasts: We are embarking upon our 19th Season and moving toward a full generation of multi-faceted entertainment, civic engagement and a robust economic impact on the region – all of which, we think you will agree, makes the value of our National Landmark Theatre beyond calculation!

The Main Stage Season welcomes the most robust Popular Music Series in our history with literally something for each and every musical passion: Country, Rock, Percussion, Big Band, A Cappella, Irish Tenor, Michael Jackson and even Crosby and Nash (just not on the same bill). Further, we have Dinosaurs, Acrobats, Naughty Chefs, Candid Camera, Comedians, Charlie Brown…live on stage and the world’s most famous Vienna Boys Choirs.

Our LIVE in HD SERIES will expand yet again with our fifth annual Series from the Metropolitan Opera and increased broadcasts of LIVE in HD from the National Theatre of Great Britain. Sports Live will carry MLB, NFL and the FIFA WORLD CUP from Russia in June. Our new relationship with VTPBS will expand with free offerings of world class documentary films. The Sports Live and Free Film activity will represent nearly a third of our total programming and is free of charge to our entire region! The Paramount is truly a theatre for everyone!!

All manner of civic engagement also marks our commitment to the community, from the Naturalization Ceremony in August to election debates, to community forums, to four major fundraising benefits for local not-for-profits derived from television game shows. These very special evenings are fantastic Rutland celebrations and put many community members into the center of the action on the stage!

As you can see, we renew our commitment on a daily and annual basis to keep the theatre as alive and vibrant as possible and we want you to know that all of our efforts are dedicated to YOU our faithful patrons, donors, friends and neighbors.

If you are not a member please jump on our website, www.paramountvt.org, come on board and help to make our evenings of fun, magic, enchantment and stimulation a reality. 35% of the cost of each and every season is underwritten by our sponsors and our members We are so very proud and happy to do what we do, each and every day for the betterment of this fine community.

PARAMOUNT H I S T O R Y 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 side-walls, 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.

MISSION We, The Paramount Center, Inc. are committed to the magic of live arts, entertainment, and education. We are dedicated to enhancing the greater Rutland area artistically, economically, socially, and intellectually. We earnestly believe in the preservation of Rutland’s rich history. An elegantly restored historic theatre will bring about a new sense of pride for our community. We accept the challenge to bring to life the dreams of young and old alike, and to promote and nurture the artistic talents and cultural diversity of our community.

AN INTIMATE SOLO EVENING WITH AMOS LEE Wednesday | October 25, 2017 8:00 PM | POPULAR MUSIC

Over the course of more than a dozen years and six studio albums, singer-songwriter Amos Lee has continued to evolve, develop and challenge himself as a musician. With a distinctive voice that The New York Times has called “honeyed—light amber, mildly sweet, with a touch of grain,” Lee performs a blend of folk, rock and soul. This performance is part of Lee’s first solo headline tour. Lee has previously toured with such legendary artists as Bob Dylan and Paul Simon and collaborated with Norah Jones, Willie Nelson and more. He released five albums on Blue Note Records and his most recent release is 2016’s “Spirit” on John Varvatos Records.

In regards to his latest album, The Washington Times noted that, “Amos Lee continues to deliver the kind of laid-back soulful sound that has set his work apart for years. He just keeps getting better at it.”

Mutlu, a soulful singersongwriter who blends both his own musical style and old-school soul music, will open the concert.

WHO'S BAD: THE ULTIMATE MICHAEL JACKSON EXPERIENCE

Friday | February 9, 2018 | 8:00 PM | POPULAR MUSIC “Who’s Bad’s…” live performance is an unrivaled celebration of pop music’s one true King.

Their power-packed performance of Michael Jackson’s expansive catalog has ignited crowds on every continent and can only be described as a jaw-dropping, musical must-see. As the longestrunning Michael Jackson tribute band, and the only one to predate his untimely passing, Who’s Bad has awed even the skeptics, selling out nearly 50 venues in the United Kingdom including London’s O2 in December of 2010, the venue where the King of Pop was slated to end his career with a 50-show “This Is It” concert series.

THE SUBDUDES

Thursday | March 1, 2018 | 7:00 PM | POPULAR MUSIC Over the course of 25 years and ten albums, the Subdudes have quietly become one of America’s national music treasures.

The New Orleans-formed group is a living encapsulation of American music, a vibrant cauldron of sounds that stirs together meaty grooves and jazzy dynamics, soulful R&B swagger, easy vocal harmonies, cheeky rock ‘n’ roll attitude and folky social consciousness — not to mention some of the sharpest musicianship and ensemble playing you’ll ever hear from any five musicians.

Led by singer/guitarist Tommy Malone and accordionist, John Magnie, The Subdudes draw most of their inspiration from the sounds of their native New Orleans, blending blues, gospel, funk, and R&B with their own harmony vocals; their sound is also notable for the band’s substitution of a tambourine player, Steve Amedée, for a drummer. Tim Cook rounds out the band on bass.

AMERICA

Saturday | March 31, 2018 | 8:00 PM | POPULAR MUSIC The year 2015 marked the 45th Anniversary of perennial classic-rock favorite, America.

Founding members, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell (along with former band mate Dan Peek) met in high school in London in the late 1960s and quickly harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature song "A Horse With No Name”. America became a global household name and paved the way with an impressive string of hits following the success of their first #1 single. Forty plus years later, these friends are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound.

America's journey has found them exploring a wide variety of musical terrain. Their best-known tunes, which also include "I Need You," "Ventura Highway," "Don't Cross The River," "Tin Man," "Lonely People," and "Sister Golden Hair" were cornerstones of 1970’s Top 40 and FM rock radio. Yet beyond their impressive catalog of hits, listeners would discover there was always much more to America than surface perceptions. The combination of Gerry Beckley’s melodic pop rock and Dewey Bunnell’s use of folk-jazz elements, slinky Latin-leaning rhythms and impressionistic lyric imagery contrasted well with Dan Peek's more traditional country-rock leanings and highly personal lyrics.

“Hot Tuna is a PsychedelicBlues Institution” – Rolling Stone Magazine

HOT TUNA ACOUSTIC

Wednesday | April 4, 2018 | 7:30 PM | POPULAR MUSIC From their days playing together as teenagers, through their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for their Jefferson Airplane band to their current acoustic and electric blues, no one has more consistently led American music for the last 50 years than Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, the founders and continuing core members of Hot Tuna.

Jorma and Jack certainly could not have imagined, let alone predicted, where playing would take them. It’s been a long and fascinating road to numerous exciting destinations. Two things have never changed: They still love to play as much as they did as kids in Washington D.C., and there are still many, many exciting miles yet to travel on their musical odyssey.

VNA

Choosing the right agency makes all the difference.

On any given day, the VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region cares for hundreds of individuals in all circumstances. Every year we touch thousands of lives and have grown into one of Vermont’s largest non-profit provider of home care, hospice, and community-based care.

But, when you’re looking for home care for you or someone you love, size is less important as the quality of care.

As a HomeCare Elite Top 100 Home Health Agency, we are proud that our patients, their families, and market-leading reviews of Medicarecertified agencies rate us as one of the highest in quality of care and patient satisfaction.

How can we help you?

You do have a choice when you or a loved one needs inhome nursing or hospice care.

Choose us.
