The past weekend the Strand hosted Tromadance Indiana.   The event showcased over 30 films from independent filmmakers across the country.  The Strand met many new friends and was pleased to be a venue for the event.  The president and founder of Troma Entertainment Lloyd Kaufman made a visit to our theatre for the festival.  He was very gracious and complimentary of the work our community has accomplished with the Strand.   We have lots of pictures and articles on our web site.

We have a last minute change for the Shelby County Health Department Lecture on October 20th.   The topic will be changed, at the Health Department’s request, to the H1N1 Flu.   They have information which they need to get to the community.  The Strand is thrilled to help with our public health.   Please come and hear the important information about the H1N1 Flu on October 20, 2009 @ 7:00.   Admission is FREE.   We will have Robert Lewis back in the 2010 Lecture Series to present his planned program.

A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers who helped us get through this past weekend.  We had 18 different people volunteer for the Strand.

Coming up we have House on Haunted Hill on Friday 8:00pm  & Saturday @ 11:00pm.   This is the 1958 classic with Vincent Price.   Our movies all have a Halloween related theme this month.
On Saturday we have 2 very enthusiastic bands playing the Strand.   Wrecked + Pursuit of Apathy will take the stage at 8:00pm.   Come out and have a good time at this Heavy Metal extravaganza.
