About The Strand Theater.

The Strand Theater, located at 400 Clifton Avenue in downtown Lakewood, is operated by the 501(c)3 organization known as Strand Ventures. The Strand first opened its doors way back in 1922.

The history of this little theater is quite impressive. According to it's website, the Strand offers a wide variety of live entertainment in New Jersey. Furthermore, the venue features activities for senior citizens, theater camps for children and teens, and is well-known for its intimate Backstage Pass series which offers a unique, personal entertainment experience.

Meanwhile, over the past 100 plus years, the Strand has brought cultural arts to the Jersey Shore. It has remained a staple for Jersey Shore entertainment during this time with nationally renowned acts. These include legends like Milton Berle, Loudon Wainwright, George Burns, Don McLean, Louie CK, Taylor Swift, Charlie Daniels, George Carlin and many more. They have all taken the stage at the Strand!

Believe it or not, Jimmy’s first job was overnights at a Christian Radio Station. He claims he got into radio because like Rocky Balboa once said, “cause I can’t sing or dance.” Jimmy loves to write about all local happenings, especially around his town of Toms River. Favorite Pastime (other than masturbation, of course): Cheering for the Yankees, and crying for the J-E-T-S!!! Favorite Food: Hot Sauce…I collect ’em! Favorite Drink: PRUNO…look it up, if you dare! Favorite Movies: The Exorcist, Planet of The Apes (the original), To Kill a Mockingbird, Annie Hall, and of course GF 1 & GF 2…I heard that’s how the real fans refer to them.

Best Day: I know a lot of folks say this, but it’s true: the day my little girl Jynell and my boy Big D were born! Next to that, it would have to be the day I was baked on earth day in Central Park and met Keefer Sutherland…baked too, I believe.
