Lyric Theater

Monday promises to be a busy day all around town with Martin Luther King Holiday events. WUKY's Alan Lytle talked with Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center Executive Director Christian Adair about a special MLK Day program starting at 5 pm. It's one of many the venue has on a very busy first quarter schedule.

The Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center in downtown Lexington is celebrating the Martin Luther King holiday a day early with two fee screenings of “After King 23,” a new documentary by Lexington hip-hop artist and filmmaker Jeremiah Wrong, that explores where America is today, after Dr. King’s dream. WUKY's Alan Lytle spoke with Lyric executive director Whit Whitaker about this weekend’s kickoff event and several other related programs on the venue’s calendar.

The WoodSongs Old Time Radio Hour will continue to emanate from the Lyric Theatre in Lexington’s historic East End neighborhood for at least the next 5 years. Mayor Linda Gorton, folksinger Michael Johnathon and the Lyric’s Theatre and Cultural Arts Center Executive Director Whit Whitaker on Wednesday announced a renewal of the partnership that’s been in place since the program relocated from the Kentucky Theatre in 2013.
