One of only a handful of fully restored atmospheric theatres remaining, The Paramount Theatre surrounds audiences in a setting inspired by open-air courtyards and twilight skies—offering an experience as memorable as the performance itself.

Our beautifully restored Page pipe organ, one of just three still in its original movie house installation, continues to captivate audiences and connect today’s performances to a rich musical past.

Beyond the main auditorium, the Hardacre Ballroom and Marquee Room provide timeless settings for weddings, corporate events, and celebrations—each shaped by the same character and charm found throughout the theatre.
When the theatre faced possible demolition, local advocates and supporters came together to protect it, ensuring that future generations could continue to experience its beauty and significance.
Today, The Paramount Theatre stands as a nationally recognized historic treasure—celebrated not just for its architecture, but for its enduring role in the cultural life of central Indiana.


The Paramount Theatre has always belonged to the community it serves, welcoming neighbors, families, and local voices to gather, celebrate, and be seen. From school performances to shared cultural moments, this is a place where Central Indiana comes together, and where every generation helps shape what happens next.
