Paramount Center

Who doesn't adore the Paramount's marquee's magnificent red and amber lighting? Washington Street is given a shine that has been long lost to urban ruin. Up until the Paramount Theatre's reopening in 2010, Downtown Crossing had not undergone any formal revitalization. The theater was renovated for $92 million to return it to its previous Art Deco splendor.

The building was constructed in 1932 as a movie theater under the ownership of Paramount Pictures. As talkies gained popularity, the center became an instant hit. The Paramount, which is now owned by Emerson College, has a main theater with 596 seats, a small black box theater with 150 seats, and a room with 170 seats for movie screenings. The Paramount frequently schedules US premieres and has staged a number of recent, ground-breaking theatrical productions.
