A Beautiful Piece of History Restored

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. After closing its doors in 1976, The Strand hosted other types of entertainment ventures and was even a church for a short while until it closed its doors once again in 2002. This grand old gal sat vacant and deteriorating until a group of patrons organized Friends of The Strand. As they held fundraisers and got the community excited about restoring this last remaining historic theatre in Marietta to her former glory, demolition and rebuilding began. It is a delightful addition to the wonderful offerings of the Historic Square in Marietta.

Top Level Event Room
What used to be the back of a projection booth in the 1930s has been transformed to an elegant space for hosting memorable events. It boasts coffered ceilings, a teardrop chandelier, and four windows and two doors overlooking the square, which feature transoms with decorative etching that can be seen from inside as well as from outside. The etching is a replica of transom etchings at The Strand when it was first constructed. The premier space can accommodate 64 guests for a seated & served luncheon or dinner, and up to 115 for a cocktail party.
