Kansas Profile – Now That’s Rural: Dan Brooks, Strand Theater
“Welcome to the theater.” As the smell of popcorn wafts in the air, movie-goers come in and take their seats – in a theater building that is more than a century old. Today we’ll learn about a group of volunteers who have restored their historic movie theater building and are operating it for their rural community. Dan Brooks and his wife Kelsey Mai are volunteer managers of the Strand Theater in Sharon Springs. Dan grew up in Colorado Springs. He does carpentry and residential remodeling. Ten years ago, they moved back to Sharon Springs where Kelsey grew up. Source: KCLY Radio
