Lyric Theatre

The Lyric Theatre was built for vaudeville shows in 1912, at a cost of $50,000. It was taken over by the Allen Theatres chain in November 1919.

Throughout the 1950’s-1980’s, it housed both a movie theatre and a night club, until closing its doors in 2003. There, it sat empty for two years.

Thanks to the vision, donations, and volunteer work of Swift Current residents, the Lyric Theatre re-opened in 2006 after a massive restoration.

Previous Owners: John Lundholm (until 1960)
