Scope and content

File of minutes of meetings of the Board of Trustees of the Lyric Players Theatre. Information in the minutes includes attendance, reports from the various officers and resolutions passed in relation to the running of the theatre. Some copy correspondence is included with relevant minutes. Includes a copy of a 'Memorandum on the Affairs of the Lyric Players Theatre' by Pearse O'Malley, which complains of a decline in the artistic and financial management of the Theatre, and that 'for the first time the Lyric Board had to actively intervene in order to ensure that the artistic standards in presentation achieved a minimal professional standard' (24 June 1981). Serious disagreements are centred on the minutes between the Secretary, Ciaran McKeown, and Pearse O'Malley, as well as disagreements between McKeown and Lyric front of house manager Winifred Bell. Includes copy of a memorandum by Thomas Kinsella as Honorary Director on the August meeting, noting these problems and recommending that McKeown be replaced (26 August).
