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.

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.

Love going there . I remember when I was little going there to watch a movie . I'm 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 .

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, they're all still very entertaining.

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.
