Cobb’s oldest theater, the Earl and Rachel Smith
Strand Theatre on the Marietta Square, is still
lighting up its marquee, welcoming guests and
doing its best to keep the lights on.
“On March 14th, I thought it would be two
weeks, we’ll hunker down, then we’ll get back
to business. I was never expecting this,” said
Strand Theatre General Manager Andy Gaines.
“I wouldn’t say it’s been a roaring success, but
when we knew we had to survive, we had a plan
that wasn’t just going to take us through a few
weeks or months; we had a solid plan with people
we’ve invested in over time and it took us further
out. We knew that, as long as we stuck to that
plan, we were going to be OK. Right now, we have
another plan to get us through a long forecast out.
And as long as we stick to that, as we have with the
past two pandemic budgets, we’ll be ok.”
Gaines and the Strand had to rely heavily on
donations last year, and he hopes to see more
this year, whether they are in-kind or monetary.
Many of the fundraising drives last year were led
by local philanthropists, offering up a match to
dollars raised.
“The matching donations started in July with
Jay Cunningham, CEO of Superior Plumbing,”
The Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre has yard signs reading
“I support the Strand” for sale to help bolster struggling revenues
during the pandemic.
