Vote for Coach Tony Bennett in the Infiniti Coaches’ Challenge

February 13, 2017

The tension was palpable in the Theater last night as UVA went into double overtime with the rival Hokies – an exciting ACC basketball game that was broadcasted live on the big screen at The Paramount. Though we were sad to see the University of Virginia men’s basketball team lose such a tight game, we will always be proud of our hard-working Hoos!

We are even more proud of the incredible spirit of Coach Tony Bennett, who is not only a resilient coach, but an inspiring community leader.

This February, Coach Bennett is participating in the Infinity Coaches’ Charity Challenge, sponsored by ESPN, in which the winner receives a grand prize in the charity of their choosing. Coach Bennett has chosen the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank – and if he wins the vote, BRAFB will receive 400,000 meals for hungry Charlottesville locals!

You can vote for Coach Bennett by visiting www.espn/infiniti. You can vote daily, and what’s more, your vote enters you into a sweepstakes with prizes including signed memorabilia!

Learn more about BRAFB HERE, and check back at www.theparamount.net to stay up to date on more UVA Men’s Basketball live broadcasts.

An Aca-Amazing Night at The Paramount

February 10, 2017

On January 28, 2017, The Paramount Theater welcomed Vocalosity, a one-of-a-kind a cappella group created by Deke Sharon (Pitch Perfect, The Sing-Off). Vocalosity, with their intricate 10-part harmony and colorful energy brought a diverse but always exciting repertoire of hit pop songs that was exciting for kids of all ages, as well as the young at heart!

Vocalosity was joined on January 28 by the winners of our Aca-Perfomance of a Lifetime Contest, selected by Deke Sharon himself – local group DMR Adventures! The Charlottesville‐based performing arts education program for local kids and teens performed as the opening act to Vocalosity and blew the audience away with their incredible talent and range.
