Marietta, Ga. (May 3, 2012) —Remember when The Hustle was America’s #1 dance and Studio 54 was the hottest party spot on the planet? For one night only, the Earl Smith Strand Theatre’s stage will be transformed into the ultimate disco club on May 19, 2012 starting at 7 PM.
Patrons will take a giant step back in time to the days of Saturday Night Fever and party the night away to a live DJ and funky disco beats on the stage-turned-dance floor. There will be both a disco dance contest and ‘70s costume contest. Free Hustle lessons will be held in the 2nd floor event for those patrons who want to brush up their dancing skills. The fourth floor terrace bar will also be open.
Judging the costume contest will be Linda Flournoy and Debbie Butler. Judging the dance contest will be Judy Renfroe, Shelby Bodiford, and Allison Michalke. For both the dance and costume contest: first place winners will receive a free rental of The Strand’s 2nd floor event room, second place winners with receive a custom engraved brick under The Strand’s marquee, and third place winners will receive a $25 gift certificate to the concessions stand/bar.
Cover charge is $10 and attendants must be 21 and older with proper IDs. Cover can be purchased in advance to reserve admission through The Strand Box Office.
