This week, the League of Historic American Theatres is holding its annual convention in Minneapolis. A delegation from the organization is touring some historic theatres in rural Minnesota. On the itinerary was Austin's Paramount theatre. The 73 year-old Paramount Theatre is one of the few remaining historic buildings in Austin. The amount of money needed to restore the building pales in comparison to some of the theater projects proposed for the Twin Cities. But as Mainstreet Radio's Rob Schmitz reports, to the handful of people struggling to restore the theatre, the project is every bit as important . {Turrets, spires, and Moorish arches spread across the interior walls to Austin's Paramount Theatre...representing a village courtyard in southern Spain. The Paramount was built in 1929. It's on the national list of historic sites. It's one of Minnesota's few remaining atmospheric theatres...an architectural style that makes visitors feel like they're outside. High above the Paramount's auditorium is the faint light of tiny holes punched in the ceiling, creating the illusion of thousands of stars, stretching out for miles into the night. But for Paramount Theatre manager Scott Andreson, the feeling of infinite space ends there.
