The once beautiful Strand Theatre is starting to make headway in its’ renovation process. This week, the Marietta Board of Lights and Water decided to buy the naming rights to the lobby of the Strand for $250,000. The purchase gives the BWL the naming rights for the next 50 years. With the renovation under way, we wanted to let our readers know they are still in need of sponsorship for the restoration project! The non-profit Friends of the Strand hope to raise $5 million or so for the project, with the goal of returning the Strand to the original Art Deco-style grandeur it boasted at its opening in 1935.
Don’t wait, make your donation today and help to restore an incredible landmark of the Marietta Square!

The Strand Theatre, a noted landmark on the historic Marietta Square in Cobb County, got its start as a major motion picture house in 1935. The Strand provided movie entertainment to thousands of people of all ages until it closed its doors as a movie house in 1976.

This quaint little cafe on the Marietta Square has absolutely incredible food and is easily mistaken for a cafe somewhere in the heart of theVirginia Highlands or Little Five Points. [...]
