RUTLAND – The Paramount Theatre and Castleton University announced July 11 that the second half of Project 240 is set to begin.

As part of the remaining 10 events, the Paramount will welcome several prominent political experts and analysts to its stage, none of whom are more well-known than the powerhouse duo of James Carville and Mary Matalin.

“An Evening with James Carville and Mary Matalin” is scheduled for Sept. 18 at 7:30 p.m. The keynote speaker event will feature Carville, America’s best-known political consultant, and wife Matalin, one of the country’s most celebrated and popular and sought-after conservative voices, live on the Paramount Theatre stage discussing the 2016 election cycle. Tickets for Carville/Matalin will go on sale on July 22 following the announcement of the Paramount Theatre’s 2016-2017 Season at 6 p.m. at the Paramount.

Project 240 is a collaborative effort between the Paramount Theatre and Castleton University designed to elevate public discourse around the 2016 general election, while bringing the community together for a series of impactful events in celebration of the 240th year of our republic. The series of 19 events at the Paramount Theatre spans 14 months and exists at the intersection of civic engagement, education, and entertainment.

Republican National Convention, July 21

Fall debates, events
