Strand Theatre

Strand Theatre is a theatre building in downtown Marietta featuring distinctive art deco architecture with curved walls and ornate details throughout. The venue contains 531 seats arranged to accommodate a range of live performances and events in its symmetrically designed interior.

The building was constructed in 1935 by the Manning-Winks Theatre Company as a major entertainment venue for the city. After closing for several decades, community preservation efforts led to its reopening in 2008, restoring it to active use.

The theatre hosts live performances, classic films, concerts, and comedy shows that form part of the local cultural calendar. Visitors come to experience diverse entertainment that brings the community together throughout the year.

The theatre is located at 117 North Park Square in the downtown area and is easily accessible on foot. You can purchase tickets individually or arrange group bookings and private rentals for events if needed.

The venue was renamed in 2017 following a major donation made to honor the late wife of a longtime supporter of the arts. This gesture reflects the deep personal connections that drive preservation efforts in smaller communities.
