Lyric Stage

A Dallas-based 501c3 not-for-profit professional musical theatre company – was established in 1993 by Founding Producer Steven Jones, with the mission of developing and preserving the musical, a uniquely American art form.
In its 25+ year history, Founder Steven Jones has honored Lyric Stage's mission by: producing 125 productions, which includes 21 world-premiere musicals and 2 Off-Broadway shows; working with the R&H Organization, Jule Styne Estate, & Moross family, et al to restore and produce full, orchestral productions for new audiences of such classics as CAROUSEL, THE KING & I, SHOWBOAT, GYPSY, and THE GOLDEN APPLE (recorded by PS Classics and available as the only full recording); honoring excellence in local, high school musical theatre since 2010 by sponsoring The Schmidt & Jones Awards; creating over 3,000 jobs in Dallas County by remaining committed to employing local actors, singers, musicians, fabricators, artists, and creatives.
 
As Lyric Stage looks to its next 25 years, Producers Catherine Carpenter-Cox and Christopher J. Deaton will continue to uphold Lyric Stage's mission by looking for ways to evolve and grow in the ever-changing landscape of the arts, so that future audiences and generations will have access to and be able to experience the American Musical.
