The vision for the Lyric Theatre is unlike any facility in the city or region.

The facility is located in a racially diverse area of town. Prominent African American churches and funeral homes are nearby, as well as a new elementary school, community centers, the Urban League and a medical facility operated by the University of Kentucky.

It is located within walking distance of a number of new housing developments spanning from the Midland Avenue/3rd street area, to the lofts being built on and near Main Street. The facility is also in close proximity to the campuses of the University of Kentucky, Transylvania University and the future site of the BCTCS campus.

The Lyric Theatre is uniquely positioned to be a cultural hub of activity for our city’s many diverse populations. The Lyric Theatre activities will exemplify practices of inclusion by bringing together community members, arts organizations, business entities and educational efforts. Through this facility, we will demonstrate that honoring the historic past of a people, gives a strong foundation upon which to build a more positive community for the future.
