Make Them Last

Help Us Create an Endowment for The Alabama and The Lyric Theatres.

Did You Know?

Whether open or not, the Alabama and Lyric cost more than $40,000 per month to maintain. How could that be? Easy.

  1. Insurance,
  2. HVAC must remain on to maintain the century-old plaster,
  3. Both theatres must be cleaned regularly,
  4. Taxes must be paid, and
  5. Normal physical deterioration (roofs, electrical, plumbing, etc.) must be addressed whether events are held or not.

And consider this…

Image if you hosted thousands at your century-old home. That’s what we do on a regular basis and are constantly faced with  dramatic wear and tear that requires constant maintenance–not to mention unplanned structural, electrical, plumbing, and other significant issues that occur frequently.

THAT’S WHY WE’RE ESTABLISHING AN ENDOWMENT.

Providing a perpetual source of income for ongoing maintenance and required repairs for
The Alabama & The Lyric Theatres.

Thank you for your interest and support!
