The mission of the Paramount Theatre is to present
entertaining, informative and inspiring world-class performances and
theatrical opportunities in a beautiful historic setting, therefore
enhancing the quality of life in the Chicago Metropolitan area. The
Paramount boasts a professional staff dedicated to supporting the
talent we host as well as the arts community. We strive to exceed
the expectations of our guests with excellent and courteous service
in a total theatre experience.
Our Executive Director believes that we need to also bring that
mission to the young people in our community it is evident by our
programming and efforts with our "Dreams Do Come True" program which
send underprivileged children to a live theatrical performance. We
hope you will explore these pages and find a way to connect. Arts
provides opportunities for children that are invaluable, and helps
to develop self-esteem, camaraderie, creativity and positive
expression. We hope you join us to support our mission in reaching
as many students as possible to donate to our Dreams Do Come True
program or our NEW Paramount Performance Project, click -
