Lyric Hyperion is a comedy and performance space in the Silver Lake neighborhood[1] of Los Angeles, California.
History
[edit]In the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s, the location (2106 Hyperion Avenue) was a popular restaurant and gay bar known as the Frog Pond. In 1980 a fire bomb was thrown through the front door and the blast injured three people[2]. However, the hate crime led to the formation of the Sunset Junction Street Fair to help ease tensions in the neighborhood[3]. And that festival lasted for 30 years[4].
In 1989, Company of Angels, a theater company founded by actors Leonard Nimoy and Richard Chamberlain, moved into the space and stayed there for seventeen years.
In 2004, the building was purchased and remodeled by founder, Alan Becker. Other notable owners include Phil Burgers, who made the theater a hub for modern clowning.
In December 2022, the theater was turned over to Sean Casey, who helped start M.I.'s Westside Comedy Theater in Santa Monica[5], as well as The Glendale Room in Glendale.
Past performers include Maria Bamford, Dana Gould, Atsuko Okatsuka, Natalie Palamides, Jay Jurden, Kyle Kinane, and Rory Scovel.
