AS THE LAST REMAINING HISTORIC THEATRE IN COBB COUNTY, THE STRAND IS A LANDMARK STEEPED IN HISTORY ON THE MARIETTA SQUARE. ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1935 BY THE MANNING-WINKS THEATRE COMPANY AS AN ART DECO MOVIE PALACE, IT IS CURRENTLY THE HOME OF THE EARL AND RACHEL SMITH STRAND THEATRE, A NONPROFIT ARTS ORGANIZATION THAT LIGHTS UP THE SQUARE WITH FILMS, CONCERTS, MUSICALS, PLAYS, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING, AND COMMUNITY GATHERINGS. WHETHER PATRONS ARE INTERESTED IN STEPPING BACK IN TIME TO GLIMPSE A BYGONE ERA OR LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING CURRENT ACTS OF TODAY, THE STRAND FILLS A CRITICAL NICHE IN THE LOCAL CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF MARIETTA BY HOSTING A WIDE VARIETY OF ART FORMS AND COMMUNITY GATHERINGS AND BY PROVIDING A HISTORIC HOME FOR ARTS LOVERS TO COME TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY.
THE ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO THE RESTORATION AND OPERATION OF THE LAST REMAINING HISTORIC THEATRE IN COBB COUNTY. BY THE EARLY 2000S, THE LANDMARK HAD FALLEN INTO SERIOUS DISREPAIR. A GROUP OF CONCERNED CIVIC LEADERS LAUNCHED INTO ACTION TO RE-OPEN THE THEATRE IN 2009 AND RESTORED IT TO ITS FORMER SPLENDOR. THE THEATRE'S PHYSICAL ASSETS FROM THE LUMIERE LOUNGE TO THE OPEN-AIR ROOFTOP TERRACE ARE ALL ESSENTIAL PIECES OF THE BUSINESS MODEL NOT DIRECTLY ASSOCIATED WITH PERFORMANCES.
THE ORGANIZATION IS DEDICATED TO SERVING THE COMMUNITY'S NEED AND GROWING DEMAND FOR HIGH-QUALITY ARTS PROGRAMMING AND EDUCATION BY DEVELOPING PROGRAMS TO INTRODUCE AND GARNER A LOVE FOR THE ARTS IN THE YOUNGEST COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STUDENTS. THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PERFORMING ARTS CAMPS, WORKSHOPS AND PRODUCTIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR AND IN MANY CASES PERFORMED BY STUDENTS AND YOUTH.
