Kings (Brooklyn), NY
Ceremony marks revival of Brooklyn Paramount Theatre
Posted: Updated:A venue that once hosted some of the biggest names in the music industry is being brought back to life, starting with a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday.
LIU and BSE Global are coming together to renovate the theater -- to revitalize its historic music roots and also host a mix of family entertainment, comedy, sporting events and other special programs.
The renovation will keep the 90-year-old venue alive by retaining many of its existing features while also modernizing the space to meet today's standards.
LIU students will gain hands-on industry experience by working with BSE Global's team to run the venue.
Construction is expected to be completed mid-next year.
