Programming: after more than a century, the paramount and stateside theatres remain premier venues for performing arts events, concerts, film, and talks; more than 200,000 people pass through our doors every year. Our season shows present a wide range of diverse talent from every background; we pride ourselves on celebrating beauty and human achievement wherever it is found. The theatres are principal venues for the sxsw film festival, the Austin film festival, the moontower comedy & oddity fest, and the summer classic film series, and they play a vital role for other local and national arts organizations that rent our facilities and equipment at special rates for their events.
Preservation: constructed in 1915 and listed on the national register of historic places, the paramount Theatre is one of the world's few surviving examples of an early twentieth-century vaudeville Theatre. Standing next door is the stateside Theatre, an art deco building constructed in 1935 that was the first in Austin built specifically to show motion pictures. Both theatres remain premier venues for performing arts events, concerts, film, and talks; more than 200,000 people pass through our doors every year. The Austin Theatre Alliance (ata), a 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in 2001, manages programming, operations, and preservation at the paramount and stateside theatres.
Education: ata's paramount academy for the arts is one of Austin's largest and most effective arts education organizations, expertly delivering six programs that focus on Austin's title i schools. Our programs have proven to be successful at improving literacy rates in some of Austin's poorest schools, consistently closing performance gaps between title i students and their non-title i peers. The paramount itself plays an important role in our outreach efforts, as more than 15,000 students yearly attend high caliber performing arts events in our culturally and historically significant venues.
