The Strand Theatre is located on the corner of North Park Square and Cherokee Street in historic Marietta Square. The Strand operated as a movie theater from 1935-1976. After 1976, the building housed a number of different businesses and ventures until it was closed in 2002. In 2002, a group of community leaders formed “Friends of the Strand” to save and restore this historic theater. Upon completion of the renovation, The Strand was renamed The Earl Smith Strand Theatre. The Strand now hosts concerts, movies, performances, and events and is home to the professional musical theater company Atlanta Lyric Theatre.
