For Immediate Release

November 12, 2007

The Paramount is pleased to announce the schedule for this year's Holiday Spotlight at The Paramount, which will take place on Saturday, December 1 from 11 am to 7 pm. Past Holiday Spotlights have featured hundreds of area singers, musicians, dancers, and actors. A “Downtown for the Holidays” tradition, this celebration of local performers continues in 2007 with appearances by eleven vocal, instrumental, drama, and dance groups. 

Holiday Spotlight performers will be showcased on the stage of Charlottesville’s historic theater. The public is invited to enjoy a new performance of holiday cheer at every half hour. Admission is free. With many talented groups making return appearances, Holiday Spotlight is a golden opportunity to see local talent shine.
