Housed inside a building constructed in 1882, the Paramount Theatre opened in the 1920’s as a 900-seat movie house. Later reborn as a performing arts venue, the Paramount Theatre was devastated in February 2005 by a blaze.
Happily, renovations were carried out and it was reopened in February 2008. Seating is now provided for 350 on the orchestra level and 150 in the balcony.

The Paramount Theater is open and don’t worry, i’ve got plenty of pictures of the old one and the new one. The new one, I have pictures of the outside AND the inside!!
Have a frontal picture if anyone want to see it (And it is BEFORE the Fire,too)
The Paramount has a full schedule of events. Status should be open, and function should be performing arts or live performances.
Someone else already mentioned that it was open.

Therre was also a Center Theatre in Goldsboro, does anyone have any info on it?
An interesting coincidence: I saw a couple of Ava Gardner movies yesterday (she’s November’s “star of the month” on the Turner Classic Movies channel) and just now, when I did a Google search on the Paramount in Goldsboro, I found a biography of her that says that in 1940, when she was attending Atlantic Christian College (now Barton College) in nearby Wilson, North Carolina, a fellow named J.M. Fordham took her to a movie at the Paramount.
