About Earl Smith Strand Theatre

Earl Smith Strand Theatre is a historic theater and music hall located at 117 North Park Square in Marietta, Georgia. Originally opened in 1935 as a movie palace, it was restored and reopened as a performing-arts venue in 2008/2009 after an extensive renovation. The theater is operated by Friends of the Strand Theatre, also known as Marietta Performing Arts, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and the main auditorium seats approximately 500 guests.

The Strand is a cherished anchor of Marietta’s Downtown Square and is named for benefactors Earl and Rachel Smith, whose support helped revive it as a community performing-arts landmark. Its calendar spans live theatre and musical productions, classic and family film screenings, concerts across genres, comedy shows, tribute acts, cabaret performances in the Lumiere Lounge, and private or rental events.

Inside, the venue preserves a 1930s movie-palace aesthetic with period detail, an ornate auditorium, a Mighty Allen theater organ, a rooftop terrace, and the intimate Lumiere Lounge cabaret space directly on the historic Marietta Square.

Location & Transportation

Earl Smith Strand Theatre is located at 117 North Park Square, Marietta, GA 30060 — directly on Marietta’s historic Downtown Square in suburban metro Atlanta.

Driving and Parking: Access is primarily by car, with routes into downtown Marietta via I-75 and local roads. Parking is available in public lots, a nearby parking deck, and on-street spaces around the Marietta Square. Arriving early is advisable on busy event nights, especially when other events are taking place around the square.

Transit: CobbLinc bus service operates in Marietta, making bus access possible for some guests. The square is not served directly by rail, so most visitors use a car, rideshare, or a combination of bus and walking.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft serve the area, and drop-off and pickup are generally straightforward around the square. Streets can be busier when Marietta Square events overlap with theater performances, so allow extra time after the show.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available around the Marietta Square and along nearby I-75 corridors, with additional hotel options throughout Cobb County and the broader metro Atlanta area.

Venue Navigation

Earl Smith Strand Theatre has an intimate historic-theater layout centered on a single main auditorium, with additional event spaces including the rooftop terrace and the Lumiere Lounge. Understanding the auditorium and balcony setup before you arrive helps you move quickly from the entrance to your seats.

Entrances and Access: The main entrance faces North Park Square on the Marietta Square. Guests attending events in the main auditorium enter from the square, while select programming may also use spaces such as the rooftop terrace or Lumiere Lounge.

Seating Levels: The main auditorium follows a restored movie-palace layout with main-floor seating and a balcony. The scale is intimate, so sightlines are generally shaped by whether you prefer proximity on the main floor or a more elevated view from the balcony.

Getting Ready for Your Earl Smith Strand Theatre Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a historic theater on the Marietta Square where parking and foot traffic can be busier on event nights.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early to secure parking around the square and allow time to walk to the theater, especially when other square events are underway.
• Wear the right footwear. The historic building includes a balcony accessed by stairs, and the surrounding Marietta Square involves sidewalks and some walking from parking, so comfortable shoes are a smart choice.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Parking around the square can take longer when the area is busy, so leave enough time for the drive, parking, and the walk to the theater.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
