This very deceptive ad, that promotes “THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK” as light comedy, was the Cameo’s only Roadshow attraction. According to Variety, it was also one of the few successful runs for “Anne Frank” outside of new York.

Is this a strip club now. It certainly isn’t CroBar. I saw a sign advertising lapdances outside. Very sad.

Hey LilBouncerGirl, the building directly behind the Cameo was the Warsaw Ballroom, unfortunately it is no longer a venue for a nightclub,it is now a deli!

Wow Disco Inferno ther eis a name I have not heard or thought of in ages, but wow did I ever have a blast there, every Sunday we all went, me and the rest of us from our Club, as we were also Promoters at the time from another one nighter, well actually two nighters by then, but we had a blast, and so enjoyed it. Sometimes I even worked the door At the Cameo during that time and even on your days, smiles I was looking for some pics of the theatre and found this site and was shocked to see a post from an old fellow promoter, as I have long been out of the business, and away from SB. But I think of it often, I was looking for some info, a friend had asked if I knew what happened to the building behind the Cameo and I had no clue , can someone tell me what it is now? It would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any information on this mater.

Wow thinking of the other post about the shows, There were some AMAZING shows back int he day, I have an entire two photo albums filled with ticket stubs, and I know there is a few that got lost during the moves over the years, but man some of the shows I have seen can not be compared to anything I have sen since.
And the pits, Do I remember the pits. smile

Well off to do things I hope all have a great time and enjoy the memories. of this wonderful place, I know it will stay with me forever.

Ken, the Madonna is the Roxy and is listed here, somewhere.

Sorry to read about the Lincoln being closed. Anything announced as coming up there?

While we’re on the subject, is there a alternate listing for a Madonna Theater in Miami Beach? It’s now a strip club, but it appears to be an old theater.

Stage Manager, I believe this is the theatre you’re looking for.

Catfish Henry, you’re incorrect about “Disco 2000” at the Cameo, the night was on Sunday’s and it was called “Disco Inferno”.

I should know, I was the promoter of the night which ran a little over 6 years!.

A Strand once stood in North Miami Avenue and 1st street,does that seem about more or less the area you were in?

Does anybody know anything about a former Strand Theatre in Miami?

One morning while communting from my home in Hollywood down to my job in Coral Gables, I decided to avoid the terrible traffic on I-95 and find some avenue that ran parallel to the interstate. And somewhere between NW 29th Street and NW 14th Street along NW 7th Avenue I found a small theatre with a marquee and classic double doors. It was labeled the STRAND with the S having fallen off some time ago. It currently seems to be a small church/prayer home now. I will try to take some pictures of it. Can anybody here identify what part of town/neighborhood we would call this area? It’s definitely industrial and very poor. Perhaps that might help with some research (where I’m finding NO luck).
