The Academy of Music Theatre is one of the historical, architectural, and cultural treasures of Northampton and the entire the Pioneer Valley. It remains true to businessman Edward Lyman's original dream to build a place "suitable for lectures, concerts, opera, and the drama for the public good." The Academy of Music Theatre has brought that vision forward to the 21st century, continuing in its mission to enrich greater Northampton's quality of life.
