April 8, ended the statewide ban on large gatherings and
reduced many of the social distancing requirements for

there’s a long way to go before Marietta’s historic venue
returns to anything resembling normal operations.
“I don’t want to put a date on anything, because we
don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said. The Strand’s
board is still actively reviewing Kemp’s order and
coordinating with local public health officials to determine
which guidelines are most appropriate for their
business.
“Now, one says three feet (of distancing) if you’re a
movie theater, one says six feet if you’re a live performance
venue,” he said. “We’re going to stick with the
more restrictive (guidelines) in that fashion, until we feel
comfortable changing it.”

Strand Theatre General Manager Andy Gaines has adopted the
mantra on his theater’s marquee that “This is just intermission.”
