The answers to today's Strands, game #501, are BOXES MEZZANINE LOBBY BALCONY 
WINGS ORCHESTRA SPANGRAM: THEATERS My rating: Easy My score: 1 hint 

I didnt see the THEATERS spangram straight away  possibly because I am 
hardwired to see the UK spelling. Instead, I saw several non-game words in 
heat, heater, and heaters. So, I took the lazy option of starting with a 
hint. 

BOXES didnt help me narrow things down much, but it did make me think that we 
were looking for something about venues and auditoriums. Seeing two letter Zs 
together helped me get MEZZANINE  a lovely sounding word  and once I got 
LOBBY I knew that we were looking for words associated with theaters. 

Its a little odd that stage is missing from the search as you cant have a 
theater without one, but thats my only quibble. Yesterday's NYT Strands
