Looks like there is some news with the Strand happening… any thoughts?

Thanks to the AJC

What goes around comes around.

The Polk Street Players bought 60 seats from the shuttered Strand Theatre 22 years ago. Last week, the community theater gave the seats back to the Friends of the Strand, the group behind renovating the art deco building on the Marietta Square.

The Players are updating their space at St. James’ Episcopal Church and getting new seats. The Strand seats will be restored and put on the balcony, which will have room for about 60 seats.

“It is great for historical purposes to get these back to the Strand,” said Ron Carter, Friends of the Strand secretary. “It was perfect timing.”

Construction on the $5 million renovation is expected to begin in the fall.
