Lyric Theatre (Harrison, Arkansas)

The Lyric Theater is a theater in Harrison, Boone County, Arkansas. The theater was built in 1929 as a cinema and operated until 1977. After more than a decade of disuse, it reopened as a theater in 1999.[1] The theater has been undergoing renovation ever since, making it fit for its modern uses without destroying its historic character, and has been noted for such efforts by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program.[2]

Today, the Lyric is operated by the Ozark Arts Council and hosts plays, and holds concerts by the Harrison Choir, the Harrison Golden Goblin Band, Harrison Chamber of Commerce, and others.[3]
