About The Lyric

The Lyric is able to accommodate breath-taking ballet and full-scale stage productions, it can also be converted into an intimate cabaret venue.

The Lyric Description

The Lyric Theatre was originally the town house of the Scurlock family, and this is where Sir Richard Steele founder of The Spectator died in 1729. In 1935 the building was refurbished to seat 1, 000 cinema, in the 'moderne' style with Art Deco detailing. The Lyric Cinema was empty and desolate during the period 1980-86 when it was suggested that it should be redeveloped into a theatre. A refurbishment then took place which made the building the (then) fourth largest theatre in Wales. As part of the refurbishment programme a new fly tower was built along with an orchestra pit and a backstage extension for wardrobe and dressing rooms. Within the auditorium the existing circle was considered to be too high so a smaller dress circle, with 80 seats, was built in front of the film projection box, the old circle becoming the upper circle.

In 2007 another refurbishment took place that included new seating in the auditorium and improvements to the technical facilities and back stage areas. As well as this a 1st floor was built above the dressing rooms to allow space for a large studio space that can accommodate workshops and classes as well as doubling up as another dressing room. After this project the Lyric is able to accommodate breath-taking ballet and full-scale stage productions, it can also be converted into an intimate cabaret venue with candle-lit tables to bring you exciting events such as Comedy Clubs, Burlesque nights and small scale theatre.

Roedd Theatr y Lyric yn wreiddiol tЕ· tref y teulu Scurlock, a dyma lle bu farw Syr Richard Steele sylfaenydd The Spectator yn 1729. Yn 1935 cafodd yr adeilad ei adnewyddu i sinema, yn arddull 'moderne' Гў Art Deco. Roedd y Lyric yn wag a diffaith yn ystod cyfnod rhwng 1980-1986 pan awgrymwyd y dylid ei ailddatblygu yn theatr. Yna cafwyd adnewyddiad i theatr (ar y pryd) y bedwerydd mwyaf yng Nghymru. Fel rhan o'r rhaglen adnewyddiad fe welwyd tЕөr hedfan newydd ei adeiladu ynghyd Гў phwll cerddorfa ac estyniad cefn llwyfan ar gyfer ystafelloedd cwpwrdd dillad a gwisgo. O fewn yr awditoriwm yr oedd y cylch presennol yn rhy uchel ac fe adeladwyd lefel mezzanine gyda 80 o seddi o flaen y bocs amcanestyniad ffilm, aвҖҷr hen gylch yn dod yn cylch uchaf.

Yn 2007 fe welwyd adnewyddiad arall lle roedd yn cynnwys seddi newydd yn yr awditoriwm a gwelliannau i'r cyfleusterau technegol ac ardaloedd cefn llwyfan. Yn ogystal Гў hyn fe adeladwyd llawr cyntaf uwchben yr ystafelloedd gwisgo i ganiatГЎu lle i ofod stiwdio fawr sy'n gallu cael ei defnyddio i ddarparu gweithdai a dosbarthiadau yn ogystal Гў dyblu fel ystafell wisgo arall. Ar Гҙl y prosiect llwyddianus hwn maeвҖҷr Lyric yn awr yn gallu llwyfannu perfformiadau syfrdanol a chynyrchiadau llwyfan ar raddfa lawn Gall yr awditorium hefyd gael ei drosi i mewn i leoliad cabaret fach i ddod a perfformiadau megis Clybiau Comedi, nosweithiau Burlesque a theatr graddfa fach.

Due to licensing reasons, Carmarthen Film Club will not be showing Beetlejuice this coming Wednesday evening, however there will be another classic 80вҖҷs film shown instead. So why not join us at the Lyric for a trip down memory lane.
Oherwydd rhesymau trwyddedu, ni fydd Clwb Ffilm Caerfyrddin yn dangos Beetlejuice y nos Fercher yma. Ond bydd ffilm arall oвҖҷr 80вҖҷau yn cael ei ddangos yn lle. Felly beth am ymuno Гў ni yn y Lyric am daith i lawr llwybr cof.

I took my children to see Jack and the Beanstalk just before Christmas. Great show, but what impressed me most was the venue. A classic, old fashioned beautiful gem of a theatre. It felt just magical, grandeur and shabby chic decor. Please never try to modernise. I loved it. We will definitely be returning soon.

A gorgeous little theatre down a tiny side street, so easy to miss. But what a gem. Can't remember how we found it but we always like to visit theatres when on holiday so perhaps I found it through a web site.



We were early as the doors didn't open till 15 minutes before the play started but were welcomed by the staff and sat in the foyer watching it steadily fill with people who were obviously great fans of the theatre as everyone seemed to know each other and the staff.



I am not a great fan of slapstick/farce but I absolutely loved this production and was amazed at the diverse talents of the members of the cast. They could sing/play instruments/act. All to a West End standard. And they were obviously thoroughly enjoying the audience participation which was very enthusiastic. The loud applause and cheering at the end was more than well deserved, it was a marvellous evening.



What made me sad were the empty seats. Do the people of Carmarthen not realise what a treasure they have and what fantastic evenings out they are missing. The price of the tickets could easily be doubled, the quality of the entertainment is more than worth it. Fantastic!!
