Paramount Theatre cancels its Bold subscription series due to Aurora funding cut
In an uncharacteristic retrenchment, the growth-oriented Paramount Theatre in Aurora has canceled one of its two theater subscription series for 2026, its board of directors announced on social media late Monday, citing an anticipated large reduction in city funding. The cancellation means that the previously announced Chicago-area premiere of 'Covenant' by York Walker, which was to be directed by Malkia Stampley, and a new staging of the cult musical 'Ride the Cyclone,' not seen here since its world premiere in 2015, are now off. The theater said it would refund the money of those who bought tickets for the stagings at the city's Copley Theatre. The current production of 'True West' by Paramount in the Copley, recently reviewed in the Tribune, will be allowed to complete its run at the end of the month. Aurora has seen political change in recent weeks. Former mayor Richard Irvin, who had staked much of the city's future on downtown Aurora becoming a long-term hub for arts and entertainment, was defeated by John Laesch, who is now in office and has said Aurora now faces a gap between revenue and expenses. As the Tribune has reported, Laesch already has canceled plans for the proposed construction of new 4,000-seat music venue to be known as the City of Lights Center, and has said at a public meeting both that the city faced a 'significant hole' between revenue and expenses and that the city's subsidy of the existing historic theater was 'too much.' The Aurora Civic Center Authority operates (and largely does business as) the Paramount Theatre and has an annual budget of about $31 million. The board of directors is appointed by the mayor. Its CEO Tim Rater said that he had anticipated a flat budget for the coming fiscal year but that the city now has signaled that it was going to significantly reduce the level of its annual support to the theater, which represents about 20% of the Paramount's budget. 'The city has indicated they have a shortfall in their budget and are not going to provide the full $7 million we were anticipating, so we have to look at various ways in which we can save money,' Rater said. 'We are sure we will not be the only community organization that will face these reductions.' Rater said the main subscription season of Broadway musicals at the theater, the Paramount's theater school and a sit-down production of 'Million Dollar Quartet' currently are unaffected.

Moonlight Madness Bringing Sidewalk Sales, Music & Family Fun to Main Street
● Moonlight Madness runs Thursday, Aug. 14, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Main Street. ● The free event includes sidewalk sales, family activities, and live performances, all organized by the Village of Stouffville Advisory Committee. ● VSAC will also feature its 'I Heart Main Street' campaign to promote community pride and support for local businesses. ● The evening coincides with the Town's Patio Series concert featuring The British Invasion, taking place at 7:30 p.m. in Civic Square. ● Local restaurants will be offering food and drink specials inside. ● Children's entertainment includes balloon and caricature artists, face painting, and stilt walkers. ● Main Street will remain open to vehicle traffic. Stouffville residents are invited to support local businesses and rediscover the downtown during Moonlight Madness, a community celebration returning Thursday, Aug. 14. Running from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., the event will take over Main Street between Albert and Pine streets, showcasing local shops, restaurants, and artisans alongside live music and family-friendly activities. Organized by the Village of Stouffville Advisory Committee (VSAC), the evening is free to attend and open to all ages. It is funded entirely through the Main Street special tax levy, which is paid exclusively by Village businesses. Sidewalk sales will line the street, with Village merchants and Stouffville-area artists offering everything from handmade goods to local services. VSAC has also planned free entertainment for children, including balloon and caricature artists, face painting, and stilt walkers. 'We're trying to keep it as Stouffville centric as possible, and we want to make sure that businesses within the Village area have priority to put out whatever they wish to display,' said Madison Kennedy, a Town Economic Development and Tourism Officer who works alongside VSAC. 'While some businesses may not think they are a good fit for the event, they have offered space in front of their building to have a local artisan come and display their artwork.' For Redefined Finds owner and VSAC member Alison Jackson, Moonlight Madness is a fun and effective way for residents to support downtown Stouffville. 'Supporting and promoting local helps the community to continue to provide services, shops, and restaurants right here in town,' Jackson said in comments to Bullet Point News. 'The more people that support and shop local, the more vibrant the town will be.' VSAC will also feature its 'I Heart Main Street' campaign throughout the evening, distributing custom stickers to promote community pride and shopping local. The event also coincides with the Town's ongoing Patio Series , which will feature a free outdoor concert by The British Invasion at Civic Square beginning at 7:30 p.m. The group performs classic British hits, primarily from the 1960s, and seating is first come, first served. 'We want Moonlight Madness to bring a festival vibe to Main Street,' Kennedy said. 'This is sort of a pilot to see if the sidewalk sale can work well with the Patio Series, and whether it can bring more people down and encourage them to shop.' Additional live performances are planned throughout the downtown, including sets by local musicians at Moto Cafe and the Fickle Pickle. Several Main Street restaurants will offer exclusive food and drink specials inside their establishments. While some may set up outdoor displays, no external food vendors will be on-site. 'We didn't want to create any competition for downtown restaurants,' Kennedy told us. 'VSAC wants it to be a way to support each other, and have the community support Village businesses together.' 'We are so excited to welcome back Moonlight Madness,' Jackson said. 'The street comes alive with energy, and it brings the community together for an opportunity to showcase downtown merchants, restaurants, and all that there is to offer in the Village. 'Redefined Finds is going to be 10 years old in February due to the continued support of the local community,' she added. 'We thrive on this type of activity in Stouffville.' Error!
