The Lyric Lives Heritage Project will chart memories of the theatre from its beginnings as an amateur organisation on Derryvolgie Avenue, Belfast through to the opening of the original Ridgeway Street site in 1968 and the forty years of productions and community activity that have taken place since then. Transcripts of all contributions will be lodged with the Linen Hall Library, complementing their extensive Theatre Archive to form a major new public resource. Selected extracts from recorded material will also form a multi-media exhibition, which will be launched in August 2008. Watch for more upcoming events on this webpage.
