The movies are returning to downtown Wooster. Renovations are underway at the old Lyric Theater site. The theater was once the go-to place for a night at the movies. Those Tinseltown memories are why locals Chris Buchanan and Cameron Maneese wanted to see the theater open again. 'Some of this is because it is so much of a memory place for so many people,' Maneese said. 'I've seen so many movies in this building back in the 80s. To know it was empty.
'It's about more than just bringing back the movies,' Greg Shaya, president of the board of trustees, said. 'It's about taking an old theater and turning it into a public utility for the arts.' The hope is to make the theater the center of a new arts district downtown. Eventually, the theater would open up to dance classes, concerts and a local film festival. All of it makes Wooster a go-to spot for the arts.
