Existing halls are often inadequate or unavailable. The Ford Wyoming Center can hold large events but lacks proper acoustics for intimate performances. Priority is given to the schools for use of the high schools and college spaces. Corporate and private event use is difficult. With the size and functionality of the Lyric, it will be able to attract and host more touring acts in cooperation with regional facilities in other areas of Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and South Dakota.
