The Strand is the most ornate building in Shreveport — a 1925 Beaux-Arts vaudeville and movie palace with a richly painted dome, gilded plasterwork, and a working pipe organ. After near-demolition in the 1970s it was restored and reopened as a performing-arts venue. It now hosts touring Broadway shows, concerts, and the Shreveport Opera.
If there is a show on the night you are in town, go. If not, the lobby is sometimes open during box office hours and is worth a look on its own.
