Focusing on the theater\u2019s backstage area Kripper Studio, a minority-owned full-service architecture firm based in Boston, is tasked to assess, identify and recommend solutions to maintain access to the theater\u2019s loading dock as adjacent development proposals take shape. The intention of proposed improvements is to benefit the theater\u2019s production capabilities. Ultimately, The Strand\u2019s goal is to better the experience for touring cast and crew and offer patrons a greater range of concurrent presentations.<\/p>\r\n

Kripper Studio is recognized for their sensitive and creative approach to improving existing buildings for residential and commercial use. The engagement to focus on The Strand Theater is a natural evolution to performing arts venues housed in older buildings with considerable architectural personality and community affinity.<\/p>\r\n

A theater\u2019s backstage functionality is invisible to patrons but is fundamental to cast and crew and ultimately to the end result. The seamless introduction of new, intricate mechanical systems requires a precise and logical design process focused on functionality. Advocating for the theater\u2019s programming needs within the context of the needs of neighboring construction is also a role Kripper Studio assumes at meetings.<\/p>\r\n

Located at 543 Columbia Road in Dorchester, Massachusetts, The Strand Theater is owned by the City of Boston and managed by the Mayor\u2019s Office of Arts and Culture. It was built in 1918 as a movie and vaudeville house. It opened on the evening of Armistice Day (November 11, 1918) and was billed as Dorchester's million-dollar movie palace. The theater was designed by Funk and Wilcox in Boston and built by McGahey and O'Connor.<\/p>\r\n

The current renovations to the building will benefit patrons as well as production cast and crew as have previous improvements including the 2008 efforts to replace the stage floor and orchestra pit and well as restore the fa\u00e7ade and marquee.<\/p>\r\n

The Strand Theatre is a venue for a diverse range of performing arts, cultural programming, and community events. Its mission is two-fold: To engage the multicultural residents of greater Boston, with a special commitment to youth and to act as a catalyst in strengthening the fabric of the neighborhood.<\/p>\r\n
