Welcome from the Board
Welcome! Lyric Music Theater is an all-volunteer community theater that has been entertaining Southern Maine for almost 70 years. Our theater in a converted 1904 church on Sawyer Street in South Portland provides a 174-seat house for five high-quality productions each season, with some of the best talent in New England.
The volunteers at Lyric are the heartbeat of our organization. Hundreds of people donate their time each year to productions, financials, marketing efforts, box office staffing, building maintenance, Board of Directors membership, and more. We invite you to join our family whether onstage, backstage, or in the audience!
LYRIC MUSIC THEATER... the theater just off Broadway!
