AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE METRO ATLANTA ARTS COMMUNITY IN THE WAKE OF THE LYRIC’S CLOSING

AN OPEN LETTER FROM THE METRO ATLANTA ARTS COMMUNITY IN THE WAKE OF THE LYRIC’S CLOSING

On Tuesday, March 7th, we were devastated to hear that the Atlanta Lyric Theatre has shut down after 42 seasons. Not only is its closing a loss for our vibrant industry, it is also an indicator that if left unchecked, the crisis in the theatre and arts sectors caused by the COVID-19 shutdowns will continue to ravage our community.

Arts and theatre companies across the country are at an inflection point. Now is the time to act to ensure theatre and the arts stay at the center of Metro Atlanta communities.
