FRIENDS OF THE PARAMOUNT
For information on benefits or to volunteer, please call (630)
723-2460.
The Paramount Theatre is supported by
ticket sales for only 70% of its expenses, the other 30% comes from
generous contributions from sponsors and donors. We need your help
to achieve our goals and continue the great programs and
opportunities we bring to the community.
The Paramount Arts
Centre (PAC) and the Paramount Arts Centre Endowment (PACE), both
not-for-profit organizations, deeply appreciate the support of the
Friends. Friends may donate to either or both PAC and PACE.
Contributions to express sympathy or respect in honor or celebration
of an event may also be made to PAC or PACE. The categories of
membership are:
About the Premiere Society
The Premiere Society was established to provide a strong base of

the arts. Membership is open to any person or organization that
