Strand Theatre (Boston)

Strand Theatre is a restored vaudeville house located in Uphams Corner in Dorchester, Boston, Massachusetts.

It opened on the evening of Armistice Day (November 11, 1918), billed as Dorchester's million-dollar movie palace, with a double feature: Queen of the Sea, starring Annette Kellermann, and Out of a Clear Sky, starring Marguerite Clark, with extra added attraction Miss Emilie Earle, the songstress.

In March 2006, the Strand closed its doors again for more improvements, including upgrading the safety and fire systems and renovating the box office and dressing rooms.

In July 2008, the Strand's stage floor and orchestra pit were replaced and repairs were made to the facade and marquee.
