Strand Theatre

The Strand Theatre opened in Upham’s Corner in 1918 as a movie and vaudeville house. Today, its Columbia Road stage hosts dance, concerts, plays and community events, with a particular commitment to Dorchester residents and young people. The program can move from an Indian classical dance recital to a musical or a performance combining live music and animation. Choose a visit around the production that interests you; this is a working theater with different presenters, rather than a daily attraction. The building has elevator access to every seating level and accessible restrooms. Check the City of Boston’s event listings for performance details and ticket links before making plans.
