As we approach our 100th Anniversary Season, The Youngstown Playhouse remains committed to our mission of presenting quality theatre arts performances, providing educational initiatives, and establishing and maintaining community partnerships while supporting and participating in the revitalization of the city of Youngstown. Since our inception in 1924, The Youngstown Playhouse has sustained a legacy of quality live performance theatre in Northeast Ohio by staging innovative, unique, and accessible theatrical performances of both classic and modern productions. Located in Youngstown’s Glenwood Avenue Corridor, we annually serve over 9,000 audience members of all ages with a full season of 10 musicals and plays complemented by workshops, readings, and concerts in our mainstage theatre (400 seats) and our intimate blackbox space, The Moyer Room (75 seats). Our vibrant Youth Theatre program serves nearly 150 participants through classes, workshops, and fully staged productions attended by over 1,000 students annually. The majority of our Youth Theatre participants have stated that The Youngstown Playhouse fills a void left by the lack or elimination of their public school districts' drama programs. We seek to remove barriers to arts access by requiring no participation fees for our youth productions. Tickets to our productions are affordably priced, with regular tickets not exceeding $16, and with discounts available for seniors, students, and military. We rely on a lean, part-time staff of five members, 80 volunteers, 16 board members, and on the annual artistic contributions of nearly 300 local actors, technicians, and designers.
