Fund Spotlight: The Susan Mattingly Lyric Theatre Endowment Originally opened to the public in 1930, the Lyric Theatre was refurbished in the late 1990s to become a centerpiece of life in downtown Blacksburg. Susan Mattingly served as Executive Director of the Lyric from November 2000 to May 2023. During her tenure, she made the historic theatre a vibrant destination for films, live music, and other cultural programs. She has also been active in numerous nonprofit organizations and currently serves as a member of the Blacksburg Town Council. In honor of Susan’s tireless work as executive director, the Lyric Council established this endowment to provide ongoing support to the Lyric’s mission and programs.
