Seat Riser Fundraiser:
Seeking $43,901.39
We are needing help from our local community to raise funds for Seat Risers to help provide the best viewing pleasure possible and maximize our space for future productions and events at the Lyric Art Center. Following the success of our sold out performances of Steel Magnolias this Spring, we know this big ask of our community is not completely out of reach as we have already received a generous donation of $5,000 specifically for the new risers. We are confident that with your help, we will be able to reach our goal and continue to be able to bring great productions and events to the Lyric Art Center! You can help us in this effort by making a donation below or by mailing a check with "Risers" in the memo to: The Lyric Art Center PO Box 831 Eastland, TX 76448

PAST PRODUCTIONS
Why the name Bankhead Community Theatre?
The Bankhead highway is one of the earliest transcontinental highways, and it extended from Washington D.C. to San Diego, California. In doing so, it allowed for easier transportation and culture between communities.
With the road passing through Eastland County, it provided a better connection to Ranger, Eastland, and Cisco, promoting intercommunity exchange and commerce, and it opened our beautiful area to a larger geographic region.
Like its namesake, Bankhead Community Theatre seeks to unite our communities–this time through theater.
