Built in 1931 and restored to its original splendor in 1991, the Paramount continues to grow as the Mountain Empire's premier performing arts center. Here audiences share passion and drama, laughter and tears, majesty in motion, joy in music, pride in learning... and memories.

The Mission of the Paramount Center is to enhance the quality of life for the people of our region  by providing a variety of arts and services which will educate and  entertain...regardless of ethnic background, age or income level.

In order to fulfill this mission, it is imperative that the citizens of our region  cooperate and remain active in the life of this historic and unique Theatre as  volunteers, patrons, supporters, sponsors and business contributors. The cities of Bristol and the states of Tennessee and Virginia have an investment in our  future and must remain in partnership
