PARAMOUNT FILM SERIES

The landmark Paramount Theatre was built in 1930 as a first run movie theatre. Its elegant, atmospheric design features a beautiful, gilded proscenium and neon lit ceiling, transporting audiences to a Spanish/Moorish courtyard at night, complete with twinkling stars and passing clouds. It is a truly unique movie-going experience and a significant part of film history in the southwest.

2001 | Comedy/Fantasy | 1 hour and 29 minutes | Rated PG

Sunday, July 6 @ 2:00 PM

Our 2025 SUMMER FAMILY FILM SERIES kicks off with the American animated fantasy comedy film, SHREK.

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters. They were all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad. Determined to save their home, not to mention his, Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue Princess Fiona to be Farquaad's bride. Rescuing the Princess may be small compared to her deep, dark secret.
