FRIDAY NIGHT FRIGHTS

DEEP RED (1975)

AUGUST 31, 2018   7:30pm   $5

We goofed! The Beatles Concert on Saturday Night (tickets still available) has a set to resemble the Ed Sullivan Show appearance. Ringo sat on an elevated platform. The platform was built and is in the middle of where the movie screen is lowered. Unfortunately the platform is built into place and we cannot lower our screen for Friday Night Frights. On the bright side, the Beatles set will look great! It was quite the “ah ha” moment when we made that realization.    The movie is rescheduled for August 31, 2018.

CMA Artist Ralph Curtis will perform the music of GLEN CAMPBELL!    Ralph writes:

The May 25, 2018 Friday Night Frights showing of the 1931 classic VAMPYR is CANCELLED.

Road work in front of the Strand makes it difficult for the contractor to maintain access to the theater.   They have graciously offered to keep things open for us, but we are partners as well and have opted to cancel Friday’s event to help facilitate the smooth and effective renovation of our curbs and sidewalk.  

Steve F. writes:  I think it’s a small investment of our time in cancelling versus the long term state of the theater.   

As such, there will be no movie on Friday night.   See you June 2nd for ERIC SOMMER in concert.

Thank you for supporting the Strand.
