The Lyric Theatre needs your help to upgrade our projection system, or Hollywood will force us to go dark. This project is not an optional upgrade. We wish this were as easy and inexpensive as going down to Best Buy and getting a couple of laptops and routers. Alas, this required evolution into the digital age is costing us $120,000 – an enormous sum for our little operation! This past year we have made a lot of progress toward this funding, but we need you help us run the final lap.

Our gathering spot...

For the past 85 years, The Lyric Theatre has been a hub of community gatherings for live performances and movie experiences. How will this investment ensure that The Lyric will continue to provide our community, both young and old, with this rich and shared neighborhood spot?

Our beautiful spot...

The good news is that this is a ONE-TIME fix! Once we upgrade to this new system, we will be able to offer the community access to new programming, with amazing audio and visual quality. That said, we sure will miss those beautiful 35mm projectors. Check out this amazing rendering drawn years ago by one of our projectionists and a local artist, Steve Tipsword. We have fondly named this dynamic duo "Hortense and Murgatroid"... Cool, huh?

We sure will miss you...

We have tried to put together an array of rewards that will entice you to help us make this vital project come to life. Please do let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.
