This is a historic theater that has been well maintained thanks to the wealthy sponsors. Seating is for approximately 1,200. They do an excellent job putting together their artist series and of course, Ashland is home to the famous Judd duo.

The architecture alone is worth the trip to the Paramount. I love seeing concerts and plays here, as it is affordable, cozy, easy access and parking. They offer such a wide variety of entertainment choices--there is something for everyone. I try to coordinate my visits to an event.

The arts in the building are beautiful! The seating is good. Good view from nearly every seat in the house. Only draw back is there is little to no parking in the area
