ABOUT OUR THEATRE

The Paramount Theatre in Downtown Middletown is one of the region’s finest examples of how community support can preserve a historic landmark while enriching the cultural life of the city. Originally opened in 1929, this beautifully restored 1,090-seat theatre has become a cornerstone of Middletown’s revitalized downtown and entertainment district, offering a safe, affordable, convenient, and year-round destination for audiences of all ages.
Combining timeless architecture with today’s entertainment, the Paramount brings generations together. Whether you’re enjoying a live show or concert on our stage, viewing a first-run movie on our giant single screen, or celebrating a community event, every visit is enhanced by the theatre’s historic charm, friendly staff, and affordability.
