Want to support the Strand as we continue to grow? Become a Friend of the Strand today!
The Strand Theatre is hoping to make 2020 its biggest and best year yet, and for a very important reason: in November of 2020, the beautiful and historic Strand Theatre turns 100 years old! This milestone birthday is a testament to the historical richness of our community. Walking into the Strand is like going back in time, a living piece of history that celebrates Marshall County artists from the past, present, and future. The fact that the Strand will be open and producing new artistic, cultural, and educational ventures in its 100th birthday is a sign of the commitment the community has shown to preserving this landmark and furthering the arts. Indeed, the reopening of the Strand in 2013 is due to several years of hard work and renovations—work that continues today.
Recently, the Strand Theatre Preservation Society has made significant renovations thanks to the Marshall County Commission and an anonymous donor. The Strand now boasts brand new dressing rooms, bathrooms, and a green room below the stage. This is in addition to other exciting renovations that have occurred in the past 10 years, such as a new roof, a new conference room, two second floor restrooms, and ADA-approved chair lifts to the stage and second floor. The Strand plans to continue improving the theatre experience by acquiring a new sound system, updating the movie screen and projector, and renovating the stage fly space to be safer and more efficient.
You are invited become a Friend of the Strand in a continued effort to provide an outlet for the expression, education, and enjoyment of the arts. When you become a Friend of the Strand, you invest not only in the preservation of this historic landmark, but in the cultural enrichment of our community. With your support, the Strand can continue to produce the myriad of artistic and cultural events. In its centennial year, please help the Strand celebrate the arts by becoming a Friend of the Strand.
