The restoration of the 1935 Strand Theatre promises to bring to life a beloved historic landmark where you’ll enjoy films – classic and new – and a range of live entertainment. Restoring this theatre is a rare chance to do something special for this community.

The Friends of The Strand, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group that formed to save the Art Deco theatre, needs to raise $4.5 million for the construction, furnishings, equipment, and start-up operations at The Strand. Over 1,000 people have already supported The Strand. You can too. Take a walk on The Strand’s Walk of Fame.

Please consider making a tax-deductible gift today. Engrave your name in history by filling out a Strand brick pledge card and mailing it to:
