About The Lyric Oxford
The Lyric Oxford was originally a livery stable owned by William Faulkner’s family in the early part of the 20th century. During the 1920’s it was converted into a theater for live performances and silent films where it was named The Lyric Theatre. The advent of motion pictures saw The Lyric evolve into Oxford’s first movie theater. In 1949, William Faulkner walked from his home in Oxford (Rowan Oak) to his childhood stable for the world premiere of MGM’s adaptation of “Intruder in the Dust”. The Lyric stopped operating as a movie theater in the 1970’s and was left abandoned from many years until the early 1980’s when it was restored and converted into office spaces, residential housing, and a health center. In 2007, The Lyric underwent an extensive restoration process and was returned to its original use as a theater. It began operating again on July 3rd, 2008.
Located in the heart of Oxford, MS, The Lyric Oxford hosts an assortment of events including concerts, fundraisers, private functions and wedding receptions.
