This is Paul Janensch with a Treasure Coast Essay about the renovation of the Lyric Theatre in Stuart. Come to a show this season and check it out: New entrance, new lobby, new bar, new carpeting, new seats – with cup holders, yet – new nine-foot piano and new sound system. The theatre – at 59 South West Flagler Avenue – was built in 1926 as a silent movie house. Over the years it was taken over by various concerns – even a church. In 1987 it was reborn as a home for the performing arts. In 2005, the Lyric was expanded. Three years ago, a campaign was launched to raise money for the extensive facelift. In December, the shows range from the National Acrobats of China to The Nutcracker. Executive director John Loesser promises ticket prices will NOT go up. I’m Paul Janensch.
