I have directed and performed at Lyric Arts, but for the past several years I've just been a very loyal and happy audience member. This place is amazing -- the theater space itself is beautiful, intimate, and comfortable -- a great night out! The quality of the shows is fantastic, people are often totally amazed to learn that it's "just" a community theater where the actors are not paid -- some of the shows are as good as anything you will see in Minneapolis! Lyric Arts puts on a great variety of shows too, and the prices are very reasonable. GREAT value, wonderful night out whether it's "date night" or "family night". Two thumbs up!
