The Count Basie Center for the Arts, officially the Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre At The Count Basie Center following a naming rights agreement, has a long history as a significant performing arts venue in the region. Originally opening as the Paramount Theatre in 1926, it was renamed in honor of legendary jazz musician Count Basie in 1984 after undergoing renovations and facing potential demolition. The theatre has hosted a diverse range of performers over the decades including musicians, comedians and theatrical productions.
