The Strand hosts many private events.  There was an unusual event on Wednesday November 18, 2009.   The day started with a music video filmed on the Strand Stage.  After that was finished, the theatre was configured for a private event.

Film director Joe Leavell rented the Strand for the cast premier of his new film “In the Deathroom.”   This film is based on a Stephen King story of the same name.

Joe came to the Strand several months ago to use our theatre for some location filming.   The opening scene of the film takes place in our unrenovated upstairs offices.

Over 120 people associated with the cast or film attended the screening.  Below are Executive Board Members David M. Finkel and Steven R. Frazee with the director.
