1. Strand Theater
The Strand Theater reopened in the spring after a $32.5 million renovation from the American Conservatory Theater, which purchased the vacant venue in 2012. Design firm SOM handled the revitalization of the historic theater, restoring the original 1917 façade. The Central Market Arts District venue includes a theater that seats 283 guests or 175 cabaret-style, a 140-seat performance and event space, and a new café. Overall the renovation covered 20,000 square feet of space.
