The mission of the Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center is to preserve, promote, present and celebrate diverse cultures with special emphasis on African-American cultural heritage through artistic presentations of the highest quality, educational programming and outreach, film, and opportunities for community inclusion. The original Lyric Theatre was vibrant and alive. The place to be and be seen. Between 1948 and 1963, the Lyric Theatre was a thriving entertainment centerpiece for Lexington’s African-American families. Originally built as a movie house, the Lyric opened at the corner of Third and Deweese Street (now Elm Tree Lane) in Lexington. And it quickly became a cultural icon. Everyone has his or her favorite memory – the movies, fashion shows, vaudeville acts, local concerts, pageants – but during the ‘50s it was Jazz, Soul and R&B music that took center stage, with big-name acts like Ray Charles and Count Basie. Soulful sounds filled the theatre with other notable performers including: B.B. King; Wynonie Harris, who wrote Good Rocking Tonight, recorded by Elvis Presley; Mercer Ellington, the only son of Duke Ellington; and Billy Brown, formerly of the Dominos, who formed The Checkers and began recording for King Records. Entertainment wasn’t the only draw. Numerous, small black-owned businesses – from clothing stores to ice cream shops – were launched in and around the theatre. Before closing in 1963, the theatre returned to its roots as a movie theatre, featuring horror films and black cowboy movies plus Saturday morning cartoons. The new Lyric offers much more than a chance to relive history. It’s bigger and better than ever. It promises to be as popular as it was 50 years ago. In order for us to fully revive The Lyric Theatre, we need partners willing to support our vision and partner with us as we re-create the sounds of Motown.

In a special appearance as part of our fundraising series, The Lyric Theatre brings you The Temptations Revue – A Tribute to Eddie Kendricks & David Ruffin. Witness the re-creation of one of the most legendary Motown acts of all time recognized worldwide for their silky choreography, distinct harmonies and definitive style, featuring the fabulous Nate Evans who sang lead for the Temptations. The Temptations topped the charts in the 1960s with hits like "Get Ready," "Just My Imagination," "Ain’t Too Proud to Beg," "My Girl," "The Girl’s Alright with Me," and "I Wish it Would Rain." Nate Evans is joined by Ritchie Stanley, Reggie Reed, Ollie Bolds and Lawrence Jefferson; backed up by their award-winning 8-piece band, they keep the sounds of the Temptations alive and well. Step back in time and enjoy Nate Evans, The Temptations’ timeless tunes, and a few wonderful stories from the history of Motown.
