FEATURES

The Paradise Performing Arts Center is a modern state-of-the-art facility. The theatre contains 762 comfortable theatre seats mounted on a sloping floor with excellent sight lines to the stage from every location. We feature the latest in comprehensive lighting and sound systems. The floor plan illustration shows the backstage area consisting of men's and women's dressing rooms, each complete with rest room facilities and a shower. There is a large shared makeup room with two mirrored walls and makeup lighting. The hallway leading to the dressing rooms contains refrigerated drinking fountains. There is a large carpeted prop/rehearsal room with entrances from the hallway and from the adjacent loading dock. The loading dock is truck accessible with two large roll-up doors, one leading into the hallway and the second directly across from it leading onto the stage. The dock is at a height to accommodate most semi-trailers. The large stage, see technical information, has been designed with a cushioned floor to accommodate dancers. The proscenium opening is 40 feet wide by 23 feet high and is dressed with a beautiful plum colored main curtain. All stage curtains are flat black. There is a moveable 37 foot wide white cyclorama. A covered orchestra pit is manually moveable, cost involved, from stage to house level to pit level. Normal position is at audience floor level. All areas of the facility are disabled accessible. There is an electric lift from stage level to floor level and another from floor level to pit level. These lifts only accommodate standard sized wheelchairs with occupants. They will not handle oversized transport devices safely.
