History

Established in 2013.

For three decades, movie nights at the old Strand Theater at 38 N. Main St. appeared to be a thing of the past as attempts to rescue the building were unable to surmount the obstacles presented by a large, long-​neglected building. So it is with great pleasure that the theater’s current owners, Rodney and Lorraine Conard, announce that movies, as well as live music, have returned to The Strand!

The iconic building, constructed in 1945 with 412 seats, is remembered fondly by long-​time Waynesville residents who enjoyed movies there until the balcony was destroyed by fire in 1982. The Haywood Arts Repertory Theatre managed to still make use of the theater’s stage from 1985 – 93 until conditions in the building drove them to find a new venue. A series of subsequent renovation attempts were defeated by the challenges of the structure until its purchase by BrokenMedia, LLC in 2011.
