    While its physical doors are temporarily closed, the Strand Theatre will continue to offer a weekly schedule of new release films that patrons can watch through public online streaming platforms.

    By purchasing a “virtual ticket,” movie fans can still see the films that would have shown at the theater. Once patrons have purchased a ticket, they will have several days in which to watch the film.

    Films scheduled at the time of this release are:

     

    April 17 - 23: THE ETRUSCAN SMILE: Brian Cox stars as a rugged Scotsman whose life is transformed when he leaves his beloved isolated Hebridean island and travels to San Francisco to seek medical treatment. 

     

    April 24 - 30: THE DOG DOC: Called a maverick, a miracle-worker, and a quack, Dr. Marty Goldstein is a pioneer of integrative veterinary medicine. By holistically treating animals after other vets have given up, Goldstein provides a last hope for pet owners with nothing left to lose.

     

    May 1 - 7: CAPITAL IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: Based on the international bestseller by rock-star economist Thomas Piketty, the film is an eye-opening journey through wealth and power that breaks the popular assumption that the accumulation of capital runs hand in hand with social progress.

     

    May 8 - 14: OTHER MUSIC: For 20 years indie record store Other Music was an influential hub of music culture in NYC. Featuring Vampire Weekend, Animal Collective, Interpol and more, the film reminds us that the spirit of the much-loved destination will live on. 

     

    Virtual tickets cost $12, and will be available on the Strand Theatre website during each film’s screening dates. Proceeds from the ticket purchases will be shared between the Strand and the film distribution companies, and will provide much-needed support while the theater’s doors are temporarily closed to regular shows.

    For fans of the Metropolitan Opera Live In HD series, or London’s National Theatre Live programming, information is also available on the website for opportunities to stream or watch videos of past captured-live performances.
