The Brooklyn Paramount Theater is a concert venue and former movie palace at 1 University Plaza at the intersection of Flatbush and DeKalb Avenues in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City. Opened in 1928, the building has been owned by Long Island University (LIU) since 1954. Converted for use by LIU as classroom space and a gymnasium, the building retains much of the theater's original decorative detail. Until recently the venue operated as a 1200-seat multi-purpose arena, formerly home to the Brooklyn Kings basketball team. From 2017 to 2023, it had undergone a renovation to reopen the theater as a performing arts venue.^[1] It reopened on March 27, 2024.^[2]
