From 2002 through 2006 we were able to make many improvements/upgrades to the building (electrical, doors, windows, HVAC, brickwork, etc.) but sad to say we were unable to complete the restoration and sold the building to a very nice local gentleman. We moved our retail store (The Music Box) to Olmsted Falls.
I have been associated with 3 owners of the theatre including the present one. All have been interested in making the theatre a success. Operating an older theatre is hard work and requires a lot of time, dedication, and money, and progress is sometimes slow. If you want the theatre to succeed – try volunteering your time and energy.
There was lots of old fashioned laughter on Saturday, the 23rd of February as old cartoons and Three Stooges were shown on the large screen at the Norwalk Theatre. Two showings entertained fun lovers of all ages.
The video projection was done in the original 1.34 to 1 aspect ratio (1.34 feet wide to 1 foot high) with a nice bright sharp picture about 20 feet wide and 15 feet high and was from restored Three Stooges 35mm prints. Lots of popcorn and pop, too.
I enjoy the privilege of working for the Akron Civic as projectionist and organist. The building is exquisite and the staff is first class to work with.
I had the privilege of working with the previous owners of the Strand and having met Kara I am confident that it will continue be be an excellent theater.
