Overview

As one of the oldest-functioning theatres in Saskatchewan, the Lyric Theatre in Swift Current is a designated municipal heritage building. It was originally conceived as a vaudeville theatre, and remains a vibrant cultural facility.

Beginning in 2012, work began to restore the 100 year old theatre to its original grandeur through a multi-phased revitalization effort. The upgrades will ensure the theatre remains true to its original intent, highlight its character-defining elements, and create new multi-purpose space. 

To date, the structural rehabilitation has been completed, the brick facade of the iconic Stag mural has been repaired, and the upper street side windows have been replaced. Future phases will focus on restoring interior and exterior heritage features, while also introducing modern elements.
