For Immediate Release

November 21, 2005

The Paramount Theater is pleased to announce the schedule for this year's Holiday Spotlight at The Paramount, which will take place on Saturday, December 3 from 9 am to 6 pm. In recent Decembers, Holiday Spotlight at The Paramount has featured hundreds of area singers, musicians, dancers, and actors. A Downtown for the Holidays tradition, this celebration of local performers continues in 2005 with appearances by eighteen groups.

This year, Holiday Spotlight performers will be showcased inside the theater on the stage of the restored Paramount for the first time. The public is invited to enjoy a new performance of holiday cheer at every half hour. Admission is free. With new performers as well as many talented groups making return appearances, Holiday Spotlight is a golden opportunity to see local talent shine. While at The Paramount, the public can attend to holiday shopping at the theater's Box Office, which will be open for the sale of tickets and gift certificates. Refreshments will also be available.
