If you get a chance to see a show here, do it. The venue is almost worth the price of admission. My daughter works there and we see a lot of concerts there.

As an Ashland native, I might value this more than a jaded outsider, but it truly is an Art Deco gem. The entire community has come together to 1) preserve the architecture and heritage of the theater, and 2) build it into a world-class performing arts facility.

PAC is one of the highlights of our town. They have a very diverse program schedule. It is well run and the facility is beautiful. It is a joy to go there for whatever!

We've seen Ernie Haase and Signature Sound there as well as Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. They always have top notch acts and they have kept the theater looking like an old traditional theater!

This is a historic theater that has been well maintained thanks to the wealthy sponsors. Seating is for approximately 1,200. They do an excellent job putting together their artist series and of course, Ashland is home to the famous Judd duo.

It's always a pleasure to find a theater or cinema that has been preserved rather than demolished or turned into offices or worse. The Paramount has been carefully restored with much attention payed to maintaining the original feel of the theater. A good place to visit to enjoy a show.
