There was a Colonial Theatre that was later known as the Paramount Theatre at 112 S. Wilson. By 1935 the Paramount was gone and the Dunn Theratre was listed at the same address. Should this theatre have AKA’s of the Colonial Theatre and Paramount Theatre?

The Lric is open again. The Lyric Continues… The Lyric Theater has maintained its presence in Park River for many decades. After being closed for the first 6 months of 2014 the Lyric’s doors reopened on July 3rd. Many updates have been made to the Lyric. In 2014 The Lyric Theatre Today the lobby and bathrooms were gutted. The ceiling was raised to it’s original height. New handicap accessible bathrooms have been installed. Also a handicap accessible door was added to the entrance. Other new additions include newer seats which were purchased form the theater in Valley City, paint, and flooring, Work to the roof was completed the end of June 2014.
Many thanks go out to the fundraising committee members, donors, Concessions at the Lyric professional jobbers, and the many, many volunteers who worked tirelessly on bringing the Lyric back to life.
This should be changed to open.

The street view is locked in on the wrong location. It is locked in on the Mysteria Theatre. The current street view looks as though it is being used by NW Tires.
