An effort is officially in underway to begin restoration of the Lyric theater in this small thriving college town of Eastland. Currently, (2/22/08), the only visible reminder of this theater on Eastland’s town square is the original red metal "Lyric" sign letters on display in a glass storefront of the gutted building where the theater was housed. They were removed from the theater in 1937 when it closed. Let’s hear it for Eastland! This will become the second theater they have saved, the other being the Majestic.

In the posting I incorrectly stated that the Lyric closed in 1937 and should have said the Lyric sign letters were circa 1937.

The address should be changed to 105 S. Lamar. The Majestic is up the street on North Lamar.
There is a sign on the Lyric that says something about a community theater. I couldn’t read the first word.
Renovations on the Lyric Theatre in Eastland, TX began in 2009 when the facade work started. As of today, this work is near 99.9% complete. Interior designs have been submitted to an architect and once blueprints are completed, bids will be sought on the project. To learn more, and see photos of the project go to our Facebook page at: EastlandCentreforthe Arts.
Thanks!
