Dear Followers and Friends
Recently we informed our Donors & Season Ticket Holders that at the end of this season Middletown Lyric Theatre will close its doors. We cannot begin to thank them enough as well as our volunteers and performers for the past 16 years of support at 1530 Central Avenue.
Since its inception, 46 years ago, M.L.T. has been a mainstay in downtown Middletown. We have participated in more community events than we can count and have witnessed the losses of a once thriving “arts community.” Gone are Middletown Summer Youth Theatre, The Middletown Symphony Orchestra, Middletown Youth Symphony, the High Fever Follies, the Tri-Arts Festival, The SORG Opera Company and of course MidFest; the city-wide celebration of art & culture. These organizations and events played a vital and integral role in the social and economic development of Middletown.
However, times change and so do communities and once again it is time to change. It is the goal of the M.L.T. Board of Directors, to draw on its supporters, volunteers and participants for new ideas on how to reimagine, our theatre company, so that it can better serve the greater Middletown community as well as continue to contribute to the arts communities of Greater Dayton & Cincinnati.
So, until that “new day” arrives we hope we will see you at the theatre for our final two productions, THE GLASS MENAGERIE in September and THE THANKSGIVING PLAY in November.
On behalf of everyone associated with Middletown Lyric Theatre
THANK YOU
