## Resource

The historic Paramount Theatre in Austin is shutting down for an 11-month restoration — its first major overhaul in 50 years. They’re replacing 1,300 aging seats, upgrading sound and lighting, and finally finishing the 1915-designed third-floor ballroom into a new lounge, all while preserving iconic features like the legendary Houdini hole. Fans are thrilled to see this century-old gem get a modern refresh without losing its soul. During the closure, the team’s keeping the magic alive with events at other Austin venues. When it reopens, the Paramount will be ready to dazzle audiences for another 100 years. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
