The Strand Theater features an interesting Art Moderne facade. It retains its original marquee. The 1940’s style box office was built for the film, “Made In Heaven”. Since 1982, the Strand has been home to the Swamp Fox Players, which presents live theater.

From the Georgetown County Historical Society:
Strand Theatre
710 Front Street
“The Strand Theatre opened Monday, October 6, 1941 with "Blossoms in the Dust” starring Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. Built by the Abrams brothers and constructed by P.W. Munneke, contractor and builder of Georgetown.
All the theatres in Georgetown closed on October 31, 1963. In January, 1964, the Strand Theatre reopened under new management.
It is currently the home of the Swamp Fox Players who provide the community with an active live theatrical season. The marquee is original. The box office was built for the movie “Made in Heaven.”
