The building was constructed as the Lyric Theater on the corner of Washington Avenue and Monroe Street in downtown Endicott by Benjamin Dittrich in 1917. Initially, the theater catered to vaudeville acts, later to silent movies and after that to ‘talkies’. Special events were also held periodically, including movie premiers with visiting celebrities, beauty pageants, concerts, and the like. The Carroll’s corporation bought the building and used it for movies as the Towne Theater until 1993. From 1993 to 1998, while closed and unused, the heating system broke down, the roof leaked, pipes burst, and the theater fell into terrible disrepair. In 1998, it was purchased by a trio of Endicott natives dedicated to restoring it for use as a community theater. It has been EPAC ever since.
In 2010 the name of the theater was changed to “Robert Eckert Theatre” to honor Robert Eckert, an Endicott native who has been very active in professional and Community Theater for many years and very supportive of the Endicott Performing Arts Center.
