The Strand Theatre in Kutztown, PA is working its way up the ranks. i have been doing research, and the 1916 date that we have been advertising for years is incorrect. i have not yet been able to find any article on the opening of the theatre, but i have found ads from the local paper that date as far back as January 1913, leading me to believe that the local historic society is correct with their claim that the theatre opened in 1912. And the Strand was built from the ground up as a purpose-built movie house.
The Strand currently has 373 seats. Cinema One has 265 seats and Cinema Two has 108 seats.
