Paramount Theatre

The Paramount Theatre is an Art Deco movie house in Middletown that now serves as a performance venue. The auditorium holds approximately 1,100 seats and features carefully designed architectural details and good sound qualities.

The building was designed in 1929 by the architectural firm Rapp and Rapp and later recognized as a historic place. Its Art Deco design made it an important example of theater design from that era.

The space hosts a range of concerts, theatrical productions, and local performances that keep the venue active and engaged with the community. Visitors can experience everything from orchestral music to comedy shows within its walls.

The theater is located on South Street and is open most days of the week with extended evening hours for performances. It is helpful to check ahead about what is showing since the program changes regularly.

Inside the building sits a Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ that produces a distinctive sound and complements the room's acoustic qualities. This historic instrument is a rare feature that can still be heard during performances.
