About this organization
Mission
It is the Strand’s mission to provide the community with cultural entertainment and education, preserve its historic landmark theatre, and promote economic development in the City of Marietta and Cobb County.
About
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.
