SLE often shines a spotlight on venues, performances and
activities that take place across the grid. Most of the time you see interviews
with business owners or self promoters, this time we are taking you behind the
scenes to meet the staff that help make it all happen.
Paramount Playhouse first opened its doors in December of
2012. Today it is known as home to classy burlesque, comedy and other fine
entertainment in an elegant yet casual atmosphere. The performances you may
have seen or heard about most recently are Cleo and the Czar for the month of
April, as well as past performances featuring Christmas Tails, New Year’s
Spectacular, Mardi Gras, special performances by Glenn Bunjie and Elvis BubbaC
Johns, Fab Four and The Beatles Tributes, Dancers’ Showcase, and Sexy Coast to
Coast. Paramount Playhouse sure has been busy between rehearsals and show times
to deliver quality entertainment that is very similar to going to the Big Apple
and taking in a Broadway show. The difference is, admission is free and the
interaction between a global community of guests and staff is paramount.
The modest Pathmaker Campbell-MacGregor is the owner but
he wanted us to shift the spotlight and attention on those that help him provide
Second Life residents with Paramount Playhouse shows.
Pathmaker told The SL Enquirer, “The creation of the paramount was making dreams come true - and
those were the dreams of my partners LeAnn and Lotta - to have a place to
perform and to be able to exercise our own creativity. Pat and Bo
Sharpshire, the owners of the Sprit Marina Sim made that dream possible; they
are dear friends and the physical building of the Paramount was Pat's gift to
us. But a working theater is much more than three owners and a building,
no matter how dedicated the owners nor how large their dreams. Our Cast
members are what make it possibly for the Paramount to function and it's very
important to me that they receive the credit and recognition they deserve”.
With that said, let’s meet the staff J
