About
The Lyric Theater is a historic theater in Miami, Florida at 819 Northwest Second Avenue. It served Miami's African American community. On January 4, 1989, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places after being proposed by Dorothy Jenkins Fields.
Renamed the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater Cultural Arts Complex (BAHLT), it is considered the oldest legitimate theater in Miami. Located west of Miami's downtown business district, it is a central focus for the Historic Overtown Folklife Village and a center of both black cultural pride and economic renewal.
