Become a friend of the Lyric and be a vital part of our incredible story. Together we can change lives in ways we haven’t yet imagined.
At the multi award-winning Lyric Theatre, we believe in the power of people, creativity, and cultural talent. Through time and financial support, we invite you to become a champion for the Lyric Theatre’s extensive community and invest in the future potential of our actors, writers, creatives, young people, and citizens.
We’re a not-for-profit theatre that is proud to be a charity. On top of ticket sales, we need to raise a further £2m a year to keep our doors open – to allow anyone to be able to experience, make and benefit from amazing theatre.
Supporting the Lyric Theatre is an investment in the cultural life of Northern Ireland; in its talent and international reputation. There are lots of ways you can help.
The Lyric Theatre acknowleges the support of our Principal Sponsors, Trusts, Foundations, and Project Funders, in Kind Support, plus thousands of generous donors like you. Thank You.
