This early Springfield theatre opened in 1909 on Fifth Street near the intersection of Monroe Street, as the Vaudette. It was later renamed the Lyric after another theatre of that name closed in the mid-1920’s. By the early 1940’s it had been renamed Tivoli Theatre and was operated by the Frisina Amusement Co.
The Tivoli Theatre closed in 1954 and has since been demolished. Today, a new building has been built on the site.
