This place i my home away from. I get to perform in this beautiful historic theatre. The Paramount Players are a huge part of my life and the staff is incredible!

Beautiful ️ had a great time with friends and family loved it!! Happy Holidays

I have been going to the Paramount Arts Center since I was young, mostly for school trips, but this time with my best friend to see the trees up for auction. Yes, this is a late review. I loved it! I ended up having to sit for most of the visit, because I had just gotten over a cold and was still a bit weak. But that allowed me to sit back and really appreciate the looks of delight on peoples faces and the decorations as a whole.

Beautiful Theater and great staff, very friendly.

My mom and I went to see the Festival of Trees over the weekend. We had a really good time and it put us in the Christmas spirit looking at all the Christmas trees. It was our first time going to this event. There were alot of people visiting of all ages, taking pictures and enjoying themselves. Wed go back again next year for sure.

I love the Paramount!! It always has great talent in to perform from all over the world. And even though some of the players (the local actors) performances can be a little rough sometimes, theyre all still very entertaining.

Had a fun lil time!

The Paramount is a beautiful old movie theater that is now used for stage performances. And for a small venue they book some very good performers. Recently attended a David Phelps Christmas concert. It was very good.

Had a good time

My Husband took me to the Southern Mama and Cledus T Judd concert. Paramount was a great place to have a concert. It was a very clean place. The concert was great.

Was there for a concert, Ashley Huffer. Beautiful place. Employees were great.

Have been there for many concerts and of course the Christmas Tree festival. Always very courteous, friendly guides. Not as bad seat in the house. Going Dec 4th to see Micheal Bolton! Cant wait. Worth the drive.

Ive gone here for many years for many different occasions. I went all through elementary for school events to watch plays and see movies. In my adult years Ive gone many times to watch movies and see events or plays. Its one of the better parts centers Ive been to.

I have been to almost every Paramount Players production over the past 3 years. I love coming and the shows are amazing, but the sound is absolutely horrendous. Every show, without fail, has sound issues. Mics cutting out, popping, cracking. I have a family member who is in shows and had a lead role a couple months ago. She was so excited to finally get a lead, but was extremely discouraged and told us she almost cried backstage when none of her lines could be heard clearly. It’s also very disappointing for us as family member. We’re so excited and so proud of our little actress, but our experience leaves us frustrated. Please, please, please, on behalf of everyone paying for these shows, dedicating tons of time for dropping off and picking up kids from rehearsals, and everyone donating to these shows for our kids, invest in some sort of new mics or a new sound system.

Great historical theater. Seat room is tight. But really great place to see a live show.

Always great time when I go

Went to see RODNEY CARRINGTON,The show was perfect. The paramount was nice clean ushers were every where to help people find their seats. Very friendly well managed places . Throughly enjoyed ourselves.

Here to see Emmylou Harris in concert and it was my first visit to this wonderful theater. Sound was excellent and the seats were fine on the floor. My friends in the balcony also said seating and sound was good. Plenty of free parking on the street and in nearby lots. Im 2 hours north of Ashland, but will definitely return when another show comes to town

Historically significant entertainment house. Started as a restored movie theater. The inside walls of the theater are beautiful testament to old-time ornate artistry for theaters such as this. Resembles Keith-Albee in Huntington. The acoustics are good for the age and type of theater. There are ample entrance/exits. The seats are fair, not overly modern but not very uncomfortable either. There is a rather interesting history of being a haunted building by the spirits (ahem) of a construction worker who died here in the 1930s/40s. He is apparently known as Paramount Joe and is a celebrity in his own rights, who asserts his presence from time-to-time, especially if he feels being disregarded. I am new to the area and this was my first time there. I did not see any snack/food outlet inside, but there are restaurants outside, all standard fare. On-street and off-street parking was free for the night I was there and likely free as such. If you are unfamiliar with Ashland, it is a small Kentucky town on the border of Ohio, separated by the river. Beware of the cops if you are approaching from Ohio via scenic 52 heading South/East from Portsmouth. The Hanging Rock area is notorious for Speed Trap.

Went to see Christmas Tree event. Everyone nice and friend.my. Enjoyed very much

I went there several times with my class throughout elementary. The staff was very nice and knew what they were doing. The theater was always beautiful and well kept. The past is thrilling. The many plays and musicals I’ve seen there are fabulous. We loved it there and went several times a year. We always knew it would be a great show if we went to the Paramount.

Beautiful Theatre, Great sound and lighting.. Good View from all points!!

This is a beautiful old theater. This place is one of the hallmarks of what makes Ashland such a great place to live! Definitely show up for the festival of trees!

Many many shows always going on. Different genres of music. Always something new happening here. Pretty they have wine tastings here also. Cant beat that.

Youll have to see it for yourself... nothing else will do...

This inside of this place is breathtaking. Be sure to arrive for your show very early so you can admire all the old woodwork and artwork.

Small and intimate theater

Great for large amount of people. Went for public event

Beautiful building, seats are little small for an over six foot big guy, but not bad. Great venue.

You just cant beat going to those old theaters. Had a wonderful time plus some good conversations.

Aaron Lewis was absolutely incredible

Deana Carter was great. We had really good seats. Really enjoyed the show.

I attended a comedy show here. It was easy to find, and parking was available on the street. The theater is nice, but we were packed in like sardines.

Board member acted awful . Needed a pole and she would have been all set. Will not be back

The Paramount has been in Ashland since 1931 and the interior while being up to date for todays needs, still contains some of the most beautiful, intricate architecture, molding and murals that can draw you back to the days of long ago. The seating is good all the way around unless you get someone taller in front of you. It brings many different shows, both Broadway, well known bands and more to our area. Schools have since back in the 70s taken class field trips here. You should definitely check it out if for no other reason than the historical beauty.

We had a great time at the Arron Lewis concert..

The trees and trains exhibit is well worth the trip!

Friendly staff and such a beautiful building!! Love the festival of trees and trains!

Always enjoy the shows. Not a bad seat in the place.

Enjoy the place, friendly staff, great shows for the family.

Beautiful trees on display from many Ashland residents and business.

Great venue to see different varieties of entertainment. Comfortable seatimg.Adequate parking and its near different eating places making it ideal.

Absolutely superb venue. Great shows, great people.

Not enough of black entertainment or gospel groups for blacks I dont mind country music but we have more of that than anything about time to a variety sometime

Nice place for concerts, plays and much more.

Great place for concerts. Well maintained.

Its a good family place to go watch a concert and during the Christmas season they have awesome trees display as well as a train display its a must to see during the Christmas season as well.

Nice small venue

Always a joy! I was attending The Festival of Trees and Trains on my last visit and I highly recommend it as a great way to get into the Holiday spirit. It is a fascinating and historic place.

A beautiful building with history! Love it!

The show I attended didnt take place at the theater, but it was presented by the theater on the rivers edge. a friend and I traveled from Charleston to Ashland to catch a concert by the band, Thunderstruck.Thunderstruck is an ACDC tribute band and if youre given the chance, you should definitely check them out. they played all of the staples, plus a couple deep cuts that I doubt ACDC themselves play anymore. they invited a young fan onstage with them to help sing a song and was very good at getting the crowd involved in the show. and their drummer, Jerry, turned out to be a local Ashlander, and it was awesome to witness the support he and the band got throughout the night.the bands singer made a speech about how important it is to support local and live entertainment and I totally agree. i hope the town of Ashland promotes more shows like this in the future because I will always make the trip. its high time that the venues in the Kentucky and West Virginia areas notice that there are a lot of hard rock and heavy metal fans who are ready and waiting for chances to have a good time and show their love of live music.to the band and whomever ever else made this show possible, thank you so much and keep em coming!

It sucks. No room. Smelled like mold.

Saw Tim Hawkins.. LOVED the show but the acoustics here really need work.

This venue brought back so many memories. I use to live in Ashland. We visited for Thanksgiving and enjoyed the Christmas Tree competition from local schools. I used to go to the movies there over 45 years ago. I was able to be an usher for Count Basie. Enjoyed several plays. Although all of these activities were so many years ago I can still feel the memories in the ambiance that is there. I would love to go back.

Love going there . I remember when I was little going there to watch a movie . Im almost 68 yrs old next month . And enjoy when they have singers there like Fab fours like the Beatles . Got to watch dirty dancing today was great .

Great small venue with good seating and awesome accoustics.

Another great concert at the Paramount.

Beautiful place great experience

Its a nice place to go and sit and talk

Great place! Saw Josh Turner in Concert! Will be going to more Concerts there.

Traditional venue of my hometown.

Favorite. STAR WARS concert with the Huntington Symphony.

Fabulous theatre. A magnificent example of the days when going to an evening show was a velvet and pearls event.

Was an amazing time seeing the play. Only downfall, the seats are extreamly narrow.

Saw Old Crow Medicine Show last week. Great show. Wonderful venue

Nostalgic theater that offers a wide variety of entertainment throughout the year. Limited parking but free.

Loved the old fashion Theater

It is a great place to watch a play or even act in one!

First time there. Saw Gordon Lightfoot. The building was really nice, very nostalgic. Our seats were great. The employees were fantastic. The show was wonderful.

Great place and friendly atmosphere.

Festival of Tress is an amazing display of talent. A true must see!!! Love it.

A step back in time to the days of movie palaces and Vaudville. You could perform anything there and it would be a wonderful experience.

Beautiful with great sound

Loved watching the Nutcracker it has such an amazing atmosphere for things like that.

First of all the show was great. We were here to watch Southern Momma and Cledus. We were in the balcony section and something that we were very disappointed about was how the staff seemed to have no problem when a row of very rude ladies would continue to stand blocking everyone 3 and 4 rows behind them. Even after we asked them to sit and also asked the employees to do something. The ladies serving popcorn and drinks were beyond rude. I came out toward end of show and instead of trying to fight back through the very very tight seating I was waiting for the show to end because we were doing the meet and greet. All the employees were sitting in all the seats around the lobby so I was going to sit on stairs until it ended because my friend was still at our seats. Only about 10 mins left of the show. I was told I couldnt block the stairs. That was fine, so I asked if I could sit in one if the many seat around the bathroom entrance but was told no because the staff was sitting there. Due to medical problems standing for more than a cple mins at a time isnt possible. So I basically had to go back to the bathroom and sit and wait. I thought that was pretty rude considering there was a seat open. Just wasnt a very pleasant experience.

So pretty. Nice to see the various stuff they have going on.

Great place to see a concert

So much fun

Hi i am a kid and i help with the festival of thetrees and trains it awesome come see for your self!!!

The Paramount deserves 5 stars because it is a beautiful place to volunteer for the people of the paramount.

Great historic venue for concerts

A little disorganized. Offers great selection of concerts, plays, and many more community events. Reasonable prices.

Very helpful and nice staff. The place is beautiful inside.

Festival of Trees and Trains

Festival of the trees are amazing every needs to go at least once. Even as a not very festive type person.

Historic 1930s theater modified somewhat for live performances. Lots of free parking. In the downtown area. They still show movies as well.

Would rate higher but poor concession and very small seats

Comfortable, nicely kept theatre. So nice to see an old theatre still open.

Great local theater, friendly staff

Beautiful old theatre. Good acoustics.

Awesome, Beautiful theatre and very well kept.

My 1st time at the Paramount Arts Center was a blast!! We had a great experience with Will call & all the other staff!!

Outstanding venue!

Great place for concerts

AMAZING EVENING AT THE PARAMOUNT

Loved it! Cast of Dracula was great!

Beautiful old theater. They always have a great lineup of musical groups in concert.

We loved Little Shop of Horrors! Cierra James and Taylor Isaac were two of our favorite actors. Good job everyone!

Great venue, no beer.... boo

Seen Bret Michaels, had an amazing time. I respect the fact that they dont serve alcohol which makes it family friendly! Looking forward to going to more shows.
