Built in 1948 to replace an earlier Lyric Theatre which had been located at 221 Main Street. This 2nd Lyric Theatre was opened on November 22, 1948. It has a brick exterior. There is indirect lighting in lobby areas and there is a ladies lounge area. Around 1987 the balcony was converted into a second screen.
The Lyric Theatre was closed at the end of 2000. It was reopened on March 16, 2001 with Tom Hanks in “Cast Away” & Julia Stiles in “Save the Last Dance”.
