The live experience
What reaches the room
Atlanta Lyric Theatre, founded in 1980 as the Southeastern Savoyards, stands as Atlanta's only local professional musical theatre company. Over the years, it brought bold, intimate productions to the region, earning multiple Suzi Bass Award nominations and wins for its ensemble, musical, and overall season. The company traversed several venues—from Theatre on the Square to Jennie T. Anderson Theatre in Marietta and the Lyric Studio Theatre at the Square (Alley Stage)—before settling into a broader program of cabaret and education at Marietta-based spaces. While the organization dissolved in 2023, its impact on Atlanta-area musical theatre remains a cherished chapter in the city’s arts scene. Here, you’ll find a concise biography, notable discography highlights, and a look at the final touring and performance activities that marked the end of an era.
