Since 1998, the historic Lyric Theatre has operated as a not-for-profit movie theatre and community center in the heart of downtown Blacksburg, Virginia. We are located on College Avenue across the street from Virginia Tech's main campus.
The Lyric Theatre is a non-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 theatre's governing body.
The Mission of the Lyric Council is to enhance community participation in arts and culture by: maintaining and preserving the Lyric Theatre; partnering with community arts groups, through the Lyric Theatre and the Community Arts and Information Office, to provide a diversity of films, live programs, arts information, and gallery opportunities and exhibitions to the community; and establishing and promoting Blacksburg, Virginia as an arts destination for the region.
