Best Theatre Space

Paramount Theatre

This is the kind of theatre you see in the movies; not the kind you see movies in. But amazingly, this exquisite opera house of yore has been kept in impeccable shape, and is put to great use with touring shows, limited runs, and one of the best lineups of summer movie classics yet. It's almost enough to make those scruffy Austin theatregoers actually dress up. Almost.
