The Lyric Mission

The mission of the Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center is to preserve, promote, present and celebrate diverse cultures with special emphasis on African-American cultural heritage through artistic presentations of the highest quality, educational programming and outreach, film, and opportunities for community inclusion.

The effort to restore the Lyric has been decades in the making. Community and business leaders, city officials, native Lexingtonians and countless volunteers have worked tirelessly to turn this dream into reality.
