"I don't think I've ever made a movie that I didn't imagine, when working on it, 'What will it be like at the Paramount the first night it screens?'... It influences my dreaming life. There is something sitting in that movie theater. That's one of my favorite movie theaters in the world, because you can really feel an audience and their relationship to the work in a way that is powerful. I've had some of my favorite experiences there." -Ethan Hawke

Honored to have Ethan join us yesterday for the premiere of the first chapter of his CNN+ documentary THE LAST MOVIE STARS celebrating Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward's talent and love — a perfect way to kick of Day 4 of SXSW at the Paramount.

"In-person field trips are BACK ✨ Last week, schools visited the Paramount to see Bill Blagg’s MAGIC IN MOTION show. Students were on the edge of their seats as they witnessed how scientific principles learned in the classroom can create literal MAGIC! 🔮🚀💫 🔬

In addition to field trips at the theatre, our Paramount Educationteam offers in-classroom, pre-show workshops that prepare students to attend specific shows and get the most out of the experience.

The in-classroom photos are from our third grade friends at McBee Elementary getting ready to see Bill Blagg. Teaching artist Mr. Derek helped students learn how to use force, motion, and tension to master a magic trick, making a ring defy gravity and rise up a slope!

Students also take home a Discovery Guide at each field trip, filled with educational activities connected to the show. Learn more about our in-person student matinees and digital field trips here: https://www.austintheatre.org/studentmatinees/
