HISTORY ISN'T ALWAYS FOUND IN BOOKS.
SOMETIMES IT'S FOUND IN THE RAFTERS...
That's exactly what was discovered in the empty theatre as the stage was being cleaned. One inadvertent pull on some rigging slowly lowered into view the original 1915, hand-painted, asbestos fire curtain. It had been hanging, forgotten for over 50 years. In near perfect condition, its pastoral scene painted by Toomey and Volland in St. Louis is just one more story behind the history of the Paramount Theatre.
COME EXPERIENCE THE STORIES BEHIND THE HISTORY.
We will condense nearly 100 years down to 50 minutes. Built in 1915 and still operating today, you'll get the stories behind this historic variety and vaudeville house; its performers, history and a few ghost stories too. Note: Ghost appearances are up to their discretion.
