Strand Theatre, Neoclassical theatre in downtown Shreveport, United States.

Strand Theatre is a 1925 vaudeville and movie house in downtown Shreveport, designed by New Orleans architects Emile Weil and Charles G. Davis, with interior design by Arkansas-based Paul Heerwagen. Its auditorium seats about 2,500 under a large chandelier, with gilt-edged mirrors and ornamental plasterwork throughout. The construction foreman was Shreveport's Ernest Raleigh Darrow.

The Strand was designed by New Orleans architects Emile Weil and Charles G. Davis, with interior design by Paul Heerwagen of Arkansas and Ernest Raleigh Darrow of Shreveport as construction foreman. It opened in 1925 as a flagship vaudeville house for the Saenger Amusements Company, a precursor of Paramount Pictures. In the 1960s, while operating as a cinema, it was desegregated through the efforts of Reverend Herman Farr, who in 1978 became one of the first three African Americans elected to the Shreveport city council.

It serves as Louisiana's Official State Theatre and hosts Broadway productions, concerts, and dance performances for the community. This role has made it a gathering place for people who enjoy live entertainment.

Visitors can enter through the main ground-level entrances and should allow extra time for arrival and security procedures. The venue offers occasional tours that highlight the building's architecture and historical features.

The Strand was a flagship house for Saenger Amusements and its successor Saenger-Ehrlich Enterprises, a forerunner of Paramount Pictures. Its interior design came from Paul Heerwagen of Arkansas, while New Orleans architects Emile Weil and Charles G. Davis drew the building and Ernest Raleigh Darrow of Shreveport supervised construction.
