The Strand Theatre has been a mainstay of the Shelbyville, Indiana cityscape since 1916. With the exception of the transition period beginning in the spring of 2005, the Strand has been in continuous operation since opening in the spring of 1916.  It is the only surviving “old” theatre in the city limits of Shelbyville. 

They believe that they live in a community of wonderfully talented people.  The Strand is a place to showcase the community for who they are and what they do.   Shelby County has a proud history.  The Strand is committed to helping citizens realize their proud heritage of the past, present and future.   They believe that through the efforts put forth on stage, they can positively impact the quality of life for all citizens of the County.    To do this, they are committed to bringing a variety of entertaiment to our theatre, while making it accessible for the novice to the professional.
