Strand Theatre

The Strand Theatre, located in downtown Rockland on the coast of Maine, has been entertaining audiences since 1923. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the theater underwent an extensive renovation in 2005, which included new sound and projection equipment, a fully restored interior and exterior, and a bright new marquee. In 2014, the theater became a non-profit organization and is now owned and operated by the Friends of the Strand Theatre.

The Strand Theatre’s mission is: To entertain, engage, and empower our community, in our theater and beyond our walls. Today, the Strand Theatre is a multi-use venue offering the best of current first-run and independent films, live musical concerts and comedies, simulcasts, educational programs, conferences, and other special events on our stage and screen.
