Since 1993, Lyric Stage has become one of North Texas’ most honored theatre companies, locally and nationally recognized for its work. For over 30 years, Lyric Stage has fulfilled the mission by producing over 125 productions including 2 Off-Broadway shows; creating over 3,000 jobs in Dallas County by remaining committed to employing local artists, technicians & fabricators; and developing & producing 21 world-premiere musicals.
Working with the R&H Organization, Jule Styne Estate, & Jerome Moross family to restore and produce full, orchestral productions of such classics as CAROUSEL, THE KING & I, SHOWBOAT, GYPSY, and THE GOLDEN APPLE (recorded by PS Classics and available as the first full-length recording); working closely with native Texans Harvey Schmidt (composer) & Tom Jones (lyricist), creators of THE FANTASTICKS, to produce and preserve their works; and honoring excellence in local, high school musical theatre since 2010 by sponsoring The Schmidt & Jones Awards.
In 2017, after 24 Seasons at the Irving Arts Center, Lyric Stage moved to produce at Dallas’ historic Majestic. In 2023 Lyric Stage started producing shows in their own space, located in the Dallas Design District, and moved the larger shows to The Moody Performance Hall in the Dallas Arts District.
Next Season, Lyric Stage will produce three shows at Lyric Stage Studios, our design district space, and our final production will take place at the Moody Performance Hall this season.
In 2024-2025 Lyric Stage will present FOREVER PLAID: PLAID TIDINGS, LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR AND GRILL, JEKYLL & HYDE, and GUYS & DOLLS, a co-production with Turtle Creek Chorale, as part of our 31st Season.
