Save the Strand!

http://www.friendsofthestrand.com

My father forwarded this to me - The Strand is a theatre we saw sit empty (and I secretly always dreamed of owning so I could put on the most amazing and theatrical shows that the sleepy Square had ever seen!) throughout my childhood. Now they're looking to raise the final amount remaining from the $2.3 million to begin (re)construction by March 1, 2007, and a total of $4.5 million...

I wonder what the sound system was like?

I find this old picture funny actually because I always remembered Marietta as having a bit of religious over-zealousness in it. Especially after the uproar that followed a reading of Terrance McNally's "Lips Together, Teeth Apart"...
