Strand Theater
In 1922, during Lakewood's heyday as
a resort, world-renowned theater architect Thomas W. Lamb designed and supervised
construction of the Strand Theater.
The Theater was built to exacting standards of beauty and functionality, with
unobstructed sight lines and ear-pleasing acoustics. Back then, producers would
try out shows at the Strand before moving them to New York City.
Today, you are invited to sit back in a plush seat, enjoy the magnificence of your
surroundings, and let the Strand entertain you, your family, and friends in the
air-conditioned environment of the historic Strand Theater in downtown Lakewood. Broadway
quality shows, dance, symphonic and popular music, famous entertainers of stage and
screen, and many classic children’s programs will captivate you and add a touch of grand
theater to your shore-area visit.
Total renovation of the theater began in 1993 and was completed in 2003. The Strand is on the NJ Register
and National Register of Historic Places and serves as the Ocean County Center for the Arts.
