Spencer: Kristin Stewart as Princess Diana

Spencer

Strand Theatre

Saturday, February 12 

at 7 PM

Kristen Stewart just received an Oscar nomination for Best Actrress for her portrayal of Princess Diana in Spencer. It is 1992 and Diana finds herself lost as she tries to drive to the Sandringham Estate to celebrate the holidays with the Royal Family. The cold treatment she receives upon her arrival is only exacerbated by her knowledge of her husband's affair and her acute awareness of the cage she is trapped in. The only bright spot of the supposed holiday is spending time with her sons, William and Harry. As the princess powers through three days of madness, she realizes what her next step should be.

Sunday afternoon at the Strand: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

 

Yes, Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Rings 

will be onscreen at the Strand.

Sunday, January 9, 2022 at 3 PM

(sponsored by Rich & Jennifer Smith)

In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit 

named Frodo Baggins inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he 

alone holds the secret to the survival--or enslavement--of the entire world. Now Frodo, 

accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become 

the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.

Peter Jackson / 2001 / PG-13 / 178 minutes

Cast:

Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Liv Tyler, Sean Bean

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them...

Come see the new 4k version of the Fellowship of the Ring and hear the newly remixed 

Atmos audio through our new Atmos sound system.

Tickets $10

available at Highway 61 Coffeehouse or at the door.

Willy Wonka 50th Anniversary

 

Willy Wonka at the Strand

Saturday, November 13 at 7 PM

50 years ago Gene Wilder disturbed us all with his portrayal of Willy Wonka...

A poor little boy wins a ticket to visit the inside of a mysterious and magical chocolate factory in his town. When he experiences the wonders inside the factory, the boy discovers that the entire visit is a test of his character, with a marvelous reward if he passes muster.

“If the good Lord had intended us to walk he wouldn’t have invented roller-skates.”–Willy Wonka

“So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you.”–Willy Wonka

“There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there, you’ll be free if you truly wish to be.”–Willy Wonka

“Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple.” Willy Wonka

“Don’t forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he wanted.”–Willy Wonka

“What?”–Charlie

“He lived happily ever after.”–Willy Wonka

“We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dreams.–Willy Wonka

“So shines a good deed in a weary world.”–Willy Wonka
