News About This Theater
- Feb 17, 2012 — Hamburg Strand owner not giving up
- Dec 29, 2006 — New owners to restore the historic Strand Theater
The 500-seat Strand Theater is located on S. Fourth Street in Hamburg. This small single screen theater retains much of its original charm and is little changed from when it opened on December 25, 1920. The marquee is the brightest spot on the street and lights up the whole area. The auditorium is all on one floor and now has 200-seats.
