Theater in the midst of renovation... still fine for shows. Went to ballet, and music recital ; enjoyed both. Parking lots are available nearby but they are small and fill quickly.
So great to see shows in a beautiful old theater. Still needs some work though.
I would have given 5⭐s if the seats were more comfortable. The place needs to be remodeled. The seating is absolutely horrible. I would definitely attend more events if the seats were more comfortable.
People were not admitted until after 3:00pm, due to production staff tardiness. Upon entering into the lobby at 3:30pm, there were no physical indicators (e.g. red rope, signage) to guide attendees. So no one knew what line to stand in to have an e-ticket scanned vs a ticket bought at the theater. In the era of They only had one scanner for e-tickets, which resulted in a longer line. You could not distinguish who were ushers, which left you momentarily looking like a lost New York City tourist. When you did find an usher, they were being swarmed by attendees trying to find their seats. Ushers were so overwhelmed and bombarded that it took 20 minutes for us to get help finding our seats. By that time the play had started and 1/3 of people were standing in the aisles still looking for their seats. Many people were frustrated by the lack of coordination and process for our community theater.
Went to see the play Momma's Boy (10/15/17 @ 3:00pm). Overall, the theater has been well maintained. However, seating was very uncomfortable. Individuals of larger size or taller height will not be able to sit in the seats. At 5'4", my knees were pressed against the seat in front of me. The Strand Theater staff was completely unorganized and admission into the play was ridiculously chaotic.
The Strand Theater Committee should reach out to other venues who have a seamless process for managing admission and crowd control.
Great place for shows/ performances. The Nutcracker this year was excellent.
