ABOUT PROJECT 240
Project 240 is the culmination of nine months of planning and is the latest step in the ongoing collaboration between the Paramount Theatre and Castleton University. The collaborative effort is designed to elevate public discourse around the 2016 general election, while bringing the community together for a series of impactful events in celebration of the 240th year of our republic.
The series of 19 events at the Paramount Theatre spans 14 months and exists at the intersection of civic engagement, education, and entertainment. All except three of the events are free, and those who attend can expect a range of programming featuring nationally prominent participants, public discourse, patriotic music, satirical theatre, and more.
For more information about how you and your company can get involved in the project, please contact Executive Director of the Paramount Bruce Bouchard at bruce@paramountvt.org or Castleton Director of the Fine Arts Center Rich Cowden at rich.cowden@castleton.edu.
