To celebrate its 90th anniversary, Liberty Hall will host a virtual concert event Saturday.

The theater, located in downtown Tyler, will hold its next Liberty Live: Concerts from the Couch on its Facebook page from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. during Hit the Bricks to celebrate the anniversary, which was June 20, all summer long.

Featured artists include Cody Norman from 11 to 11:30 a.m., Covenant Olatunde (11:30 a.m. to noon), Lucas Kelm (noon to 12:30 p.m.) and 2nd Childhood (12:30 to 1 p.m.)

Due to COVID-19, the theater is closed through Aug. 31 and patrons are asked to support the arts by attending virtual events this summer, buying Liberty Hall merchandise and donating money to help the theater reopen safely, according to the city of Tyler.

The theater opened in 1930 by Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Shieldes, who owned or operated multiple theaters in the downtown Tyler area. Liberty Hall is the oldest theater in Tyler and has lasted longer than others like the Rose Theater and Arcadia Theater.
