caption_attribution_description: English: Historic Lyric Theatre in downtown Harrison, Arkansas. Hosts plays, concerts and the occasional film.
context_page_description: The Lyric Theater is a theater in Harrison, Boone County, Arkansas. Designed and constructed by J. W. Bass of Detroit, the Lyric was built in 1929 and adorned with murals by J. W. Zelm. The theater was built as the first cinema in the area to show talking pictures and operated under the same family's ownership until 1977, though as a franchise of different chains. After more than a decade of disuse, the Lyric reopened as a live performance venue in 1999. The theater has been undergoing renovation ever since, making it fit for its modern uses without destroying its historic character, and has been noted for such efforts by the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program.
  Since 1999, the Lyric has been operated by the Ozark Arts Council and hosts plays, concerts, movies, and cultural/educational events. The theater has been lauded as the "Roots Music Palace of the Ozarks."
