Corporate Partnership
Corporate Partnership
We’re open! We’re continuing to offer both virtual programming and live programming for socially distanced audiences. We look forward to connecting with partners and supporters in new ways. In 2020, we launched the following initiatives:
- Virtual programming including Gloria Steinem, A Post Election Livestream Conversation moderated by Emily Ramshaw and Paramount Conversations, a series that features compelling interviews with noted journalists, scientists and various thought leaders.
- Moontower Comedy Club Series, comedy shows at the historic Paramount Theatre at only 25% capacity for a rare, intimate club feel.
- Paramount Education creative writing lessons for kids of all ages, based on our award-winning Literacy to Life program in Austin’s 3rd grade classrooms.
- Quaranscreen Classic Film Series curated by Film Programmer Stephen Jannise complete with weekly-themes, double features and recommend restaurant partners around Austin.
- Online Auctions to help benefit the Paramount & Stateside Theatres featuring items like photos of iconic Paramount shows to beverage and snack kits to staycations, many donated by our corporate partners.
We are beyond grateful for our passionate preservation partners, arts education supporters, and Central Texas patrons and members. Simply put, without you, we don’t exist.
If you are interested in discussing opportunities on how to best support our historic theatres during this time or in planning for the futures, please contact Krystal Parsons at kparsons@austintheatre.org.
