Once operated by Theater Operators Inc. before it was taken over by Essaness Theaters on May 13, 1988. Essaness later renamed their chain Excellence Theatres that same year.
This theatre was purchased by the Idaho Falls Art Council in 2013 and turned into a artistic venue called the ARTitorium. The balcony has been turned into a 136 seat theatre and recording studio. Website: http://www.artitoriumonbroadway.org/
There were times that the Paramount on “A” street and the Rio on Broadway would compete in being the best theatres in town. In the middle 50’s, for a couple of years, the RIO had the lead in that exhibition race, but eventually, Fox Intermountain’s “Paramount” would reign supreme for the city.
What a great place, too bad it’s closed.
