Glory days coming back to Brooklyn Paramount Theatre
LIU and Barclays’ developer Ratner to partner in restoration
The legendary Brooklyn Paramount Theatre – where generations of Brooklynites applauded performances by stars like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby and Chuck Berry – is being restored to its former glory.
The grand, Rococo-style movie palace and live performance hall in Downtown Brooklyn became part of LIU Brooklyn’s campus in 1962 and now serves as a multi-purpose space and gymnasium.
The theatre will undergo a two-year renovation and reemerge as the LIU Paramount Theatre, according to LIU.
