Paramount Arts Center — Attraction in Ashland

First of all the show was great. We were here to watch Southern Momma and Cledus. We were in the balcony section and something that we were very disappointed about was how the staff seemed to have no problem when a row of very rude ladies would continue to stand blocking everyone 3 and 4 rows behind them. Even after we asked them to sit and also asked the employees to do something. The ladies serving popcorn and drinks were beyond rude. I came out toward end of show and instead of trying to fight back through the very very tight seating I was waiting for the show to end because we were doing the meet and greet. All the employees were sitting in all the seats around the lobby so I was going to sit on stairs until it ended because my friend was still at our seats. Only about 10 mins left of the show. I was told I couldn't block the stairs. That was fine, so I asked if I could sit in one if the many seat around the bathroom entrance but was told no because the staff was sitting there. Due to medical problems standing for more than a cple mins at a time isn't possible. So I basically had to go back to the bathroom and sit and wait. I thought that was pretty rude considering there was a seat open. Just wasnt a very...

Historically significant entertainment house. Started as a restored movie theater. The inside walls of the theater are beautiful testament to old-time ornate artistry for theaters such as this. Resembles Keith-Albee in Huntington. The acoustics are good for the age and type of theater. There are ample entrance/exits. The seats are fair, not overly modern but not very uncomfortable either. There is a rather interesting history of being a haunted building by the "spirits" (ahem) of a construction worker who died here in the 1930s/40s. "He" is apparently known as "Paramount Joe" and is a celebrity in his own rights, who asserts "his" presence from time-to-time, especially if "he" feels being disregarded. I am new to the area and this was my first time there. I did not see any snack/food outlet inside, but there are restaurants outside, all standard fare. On-street and off-street parking was free for the night I was there and likely free as such. If you are unfamiliar with Ashland, it is a small Kentucky town on the border of Ohio, separated by the river. Beware of the cops if you are approaching from Ohio via scenic 52 heading South/East from Portsmouth. The Hanging Rock area is notorious...

I was at the Sara Evans concert on September 1,2023 and I was with my two adult daughters, we was standing up and everyone was around us was standing also and just having a good time! When the guys in the security was tell everybody to set down, I have been to many concerts there and I never had bad experiences until tonight, they are rude and we pay for tickets and standing up is not against policy there, if that can’t control the security team to be nice and not rude, then you might have complaints! I have been there many time before and never seen these guys! But the one that was the most disrespectful was a guy in his middle forties to early fifties and white male bald head! Just look at everyone with mean attitude, there lot people paid good money to watch Sara Evans how are we to support one our favorite country singer if we can’t all get up and clap for her, I think this person was rude and was out to make evening awful! One of you paying customers...
