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.”

I visited the historic downtown district of Georgetown several weeks ago and saw the impressive old facade of this main street theater. It no longer show movies but appears to be used for other community functions.

It’s too bad that they don’t show movies anymore as Georgetown seems to lack even one movie theater.

Still, the Strand fits in nicely with the historic port and downtown area and still serves its citizens in some capacity.
