Community Theater, also known as the Lyric Theater, Newburg Theater, and Regional Opera Company, is a historic theatre building located at Newburg, Phelps County, Missouri. It was built in 1919, and is a one-story, rectangular brick building. It has a front gable roof behind a stepped parapet and segmental arched windows flanking the rounded arched central entrance. Until 1955, the building acted as a movie theater, lecture hall and stage for small plays and community events. More recently, the building has seen a rebirth as a theater for small stage productions.[2]: 5 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]
