Renovated History: Photography & Art Exhibit

This beautiful series of photos captured the Historic Theatre and Lobby area just prior to the 1998 renovation. A time capsule for current and future generations to see what some of our iconic features, like the stage, dressing rooms, the original Sherman curtain, and chandeliers looked like prior to the community investment of $6 million! Through this collection we celebrate our history, appreciate today, and imagine what the future holds!

Images were captured by Minnesota photographer Wayne Torborg. These prints are now part of the Paramount Center for the Arts permanent collection.

This activity is made possible by the Voters of Minnesota Through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
