As a nonprofit theater, The Paramount relies on community philanthropic support in addition to revenue from performances. With the loss of over $700,000 in revenue due to the cancellation or postponement of more than 100 events in the wake of the COVID-19 public health crisis, this pandemic has and will continue to take its toll on Charlottesville’s beloved historic Theater. Since 1931, The Paramount has served as an iconic landmark central to our historic downtown and through its mission to educate, enchant, enrich, and enlighten through the arts, the Theater serves as an important economic driver for our region. Please make a gift today to help ensure the magic that is brought to the Theater’s screen and stage will be here for generations to come.

Thank you for your essential support during these unprecedented times. We have reopened our doors, and your donor support will aid in making sure that the Marquee and Blade will continue burning brightly on the Downtown Mall. We have missed you and when you are ready, we look forward to welcoming you back through the doors of your Theater.
