let’s get together at the lyric!

After three years of research and preparation, we are launching a capital campaign to renovate and reopen The Lyric. With the help of a Cultural Facilities Grant from the State of Ohio and the support of several foundations and businesses, we are well on our way to our fundraising goal. We value the support of community members like you, and we’re accepting tax-deductible contributions through the Wayne County Community Foundation.

You can help us renovate and reopen The Lyric.
