Event Date
Thursday, June 04, 2026 - 05:30 pmThe Strand Theatre will present the “Strand Summer Bash: A Film Noir Cocktail Party Fundraiser” on Thursday, June 4, at 5:30 p.m., at the theater. This year’s event brings Eddie Muller, host of Noir Alley on Turner Classic Movies (TCM), to host a film program that will include a screening of Noir classic Woman on the Run (1950).
The evening will begin with cocktails and hearty hors d'oeuvres from Ada’s Kitchen, followed by Muller’s film presentation. Opportunities to support operations at the nonprofit theater will include a silent auction, a sale of vintage movie posters, and more. Tickets are $65 for just the cocktail party, or $85 for the cocktail party and the film program.
Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley appears on Saturday nights on TCM. The acclaimed show features classic noir films, their iconic antiheroes, and the unforgettable dames they fall for. Muller also writes novels, biographies, movie histories, plays, short stories, and films.
"In 2023 he received the prestigious Raven Award from the Mystery Writers of America, recognizing his invaluable contributions to the crime and mystery genre," said a Strand Theatre news release. "As founder and president of the Film Noir Foundation, Muller has been instrumental in reviving America’s noir heritage."
