Pay What You Can
PAY WHAT YOU CAN
Paramount believes everyone should have the chance to see live theater, and so we developed this program. Located in downtown Aurora, Paramount Theatre is offering two Pay What You Can Nights per show. What that means is you pay whatever you can and feel comfortable paying per ticket. You can buy up to 4 tickets for that performance. You will get the best seats available for that performance at the time you buy it. It is that simple.
HERE’S HOW YOU GET TICKETS
You can buy tickets in-person, at the box office the day of the show starting at 10 a.m. up to show time.
BOX OFFICE LOCATION
Paramount Theatre, 23 East Galena Boulevard in downtown Aurora.

ABOUT R.E.A.C.H. AURORA
Paramount is fiercely committed to making the performing arts accessible to the people of the greater Aurora community. To that end, we’ve created a new fundraising program at Paramount called REACH — aka Resources Expanding the Arts and Connecting Humanity.
Paramount’s REACH initiative supports programs that create limitless opportunities for children, and adults alike, to experience the arts. In fact, to kick this season off, we plan to host new Pay-What-You-Can performances and other free or reduced-priced events at our venues throughout the season sponsored by REACH.
Additionally, the REACH fund will support our commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in our community.
The highest purpose of any theater is to inspire its community toward a more perfect humanity. Such humanity can exist only when we reach every member of our community and ensure for them to be included, valued, empowered and heard.

ABOUT THE SHOW

A red cape, a strand of yellow hair, a golden shoe and a white cow. It’s these four items that send a baker and his barren wife through the woods on a magical journey to reverse a spell cast by an evil witch. Throw in Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel and Cinderella and you have one of the most astounding and original fairytale retellings the stage has ever seen. If you’ve seen The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast or Cinderella on Paramount’s stage, then you know the spectacle and extravagance that awaits you in Stephen Sondheim’s brilliant reimagining.

ABOUT THE SHOW
NOMINATED FOR 4 TONY AWARDS, INCLUDING BEST MUSICAL
From the genius mind of Andrew Lloyd Webber comes a rousing, feel good and inspirational story of kids at a prestigious prep school. Wannabe rocker, Dewey Finn, has just been kicked out of his band, he can’t pay rent and his life is falling apart. When he scams his way into a teaching job meant for his roommate, Dewey turns a class of straight-A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. Dewey’s love of music and rock soon inspires the kids to pursue what they love. Based on the hit movie starring Jack Black, School of Rock inspires, entertains and flat-out rocks.
Suggested for ages 10+, includes adult language and suggestion of sexual content.
Suggested for ages 13+ for some adult language.
