Lyric Theater

The Lyric Theater is a historic venue in Miami that once served the city's African American community. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, it now operates as the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater Cultural Arts Complex. It stands as the oldest legitimate theater in the region, preserving a rich cultural legacy. Visitors can attend performances and exhibits that celebrate black cultural pride and support Overtown's economic renewal. The theater is the focal point of the Historic Overtown Folklife Village, offering a unique window into Miami's African American heritage through live shows and cultural events.
