Yesterday’s news from the Capitol in D.C. was shocking. It was a hard day. We still wanted to share this update with you, as we feel that it is a much-needed story of our community coming together on common ground to protect nonprofits in a pandemic and support the arts and sciences that celebrate differences and challenge the intellect through programming and education.

Over the holidays and the past few months, donations from patrons like you resulted in our most successful end-of-year campaign to date. This positions our historic nonprofit theatres to start 2021 on strong footing, allowing us to continue limited capacity and virtual programming, life-changing education programs for Central Texas students, and uninterrupted preservation projects.

You already know how critical the situation had become. After nearly a year that has devastated countless industries, venues were the first to close and will likely be the last to open in a way that supports sustainable revenue and business (think large audiences and sold out shows).

We are honestly in awe of the level of support and love. “Grateful” doesn’t begin to cover it. We promise to put your donations to work immediately, ensuring the Paramount Theatre remains a second (sometimes digital) home for our community to gather, connect with one another, and get inspired, as it has been for generations upon generations of Austinites.

Thank you for protecting the Paramount!
