Strand Theatre Centennial

We will hear from Rotarian Todd Fogdall. Todd has served as President & CEO of the Appell Center for the Performing Arts since June 2015. He has led the organization through the rebranding from Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center to the Appell Center for the Performing Arts; a renovation of the Capitol Theatre in 2018; and most recently the completion of over $6 million in facility renovations and improvements. He will speak on the 100th anniversary of the Strand Theatre, which opened on August 27, 1925, sharing a snapshot of the theater's history; how it and the Appell Center have evolved; and the impacts of the events and programs it offers. The program will include a preview of the events that will celebrate the Centennial and a peek into the future of the Strand Theatre and Appell Center.
