Our website has been the same since 2008. The server space has been donated by National Automotive Lines for the past 11 years. It is time to say goodbye to this old WordPress site. In January 2019 we will be launching our new website! This will be much easier and friendlier. How can a website not be friendly? Have you every tried our current site on your phone? It doesn’t work well. The new site is customized for the viewing platform. All the content of this site will be on the new site. Take a look at the old site as you will soon see a change.
Thank you,
The Strand Marketing Volunteers.

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:
I am so excited about coming to see you once again on June 9th to perform a tribute to Glen Campbell. My band and I will perform Glen’s greatest hits such as; Wichita Lineman, By The Time I Get to Phoenix, Gentle On My Mind, Dreams of the Everyday Housewife and many more… As in most of my shows, I will also be performing impersonations of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty and other country greats during a special segment of the show. You may have saw me last year when I performed Johnny Cash in the show “The Killer, The King and The Man in Black.” As a member of the Country Music Association my goal is to preserve classic country music. If you are a classic country music fan you will not want to miss this show. Thank you for your support of the Strand and the wonderful staff. I hope to see you June 9th. Sincerely, Ralph Curtis

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.
