Our Mission

THE LYRIC COUNCIL, INC. & BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Lyric Theatre is a not-for-profit 501 (c) 3 organization overseen by The Lyric Council Board of Directors. The Lyric Council was first formed in 1995 with the goal of restoring The Lyric Theatre and is now the governing body of The Lyric.

The Board of Directors consists of members, elected by Lyric members annually, who serve for three-year terms. All Lyric members are invited to nominate and vote for new Board members at the council’s annual meeting, usually held in February. Board members meet monthly to discuss the Theatre’s financial reports, programs, and other theatre business.

The mission of The Lyric Council is to enhance community participation in the arts and culture by:

• maintaining and preserving the historic Lyric Theatre building while sustaining state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure
• providing a diversity of arts programming to the community
• establishing and promoting The Lyric Theatre as a regional arts destination
• partnering with community organizations
