## Resource

The Paramount Theatre in Austin is closing for its first major restoration since the 70s, aiming to keep the iconic venue rocking for another century. Upgrades include modern sound and lighting, comfy new seats, original 1930s art, and serious accessibility improvements like ramps and a flattened lobby. They’re also finally finishing “JP’s Peace, Love, and Happiness Lounge,” a century-old space long used as storage. During the 11-month closure, events will shift to the State Theatre, UT’s Hogg Auditorium, and Austin ISD’s Performing Arts Center — including big festivals like SXSW and Moontower. And hey, they’ve already uncovered theater treasures under the floorboards — and expect more secrets — maybe even some ghosts — to emerge as they dig deeper.
