The Lyric Theater Revival

Historic theater brought back to life

When Landmark Midwest Theaters sought to restore a 1920s Milwaukee landmark, Johnson delivered a preservation-first structural strategy. Using advanced scanning and non-invasive testing, we reinforced the historic shell with hidden supports while maintaining its original grandeur. Today, the Lyric Theater thrives as a cultural centerpiece, blending its historic soul with modern performance needs.
