Paramount Theatre

About Us

What began as a movie theatre in 1931 is now an artistic hub and theatrical powerhouse bringing world-class entertainment to the suburbs of Chicago. After winning the Joseph Jefferson Award for Best Large Musical 3 years in a row, we continue to push boundaries onstage and in the box office. Never settling for the status quo, always reaching for that next big adventure, we are committed to being a defining catalyst for personal and community transformation by: making the performing arts accessible for every age and socio-economic background, introducing the magic of live theatre across generations to encourage expansive imaginations and broad views of people and the world, and contributing to the future stability and growth of Aurora’s downtown.
