We just experienced a wonderful production of "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying"…read more The cast all had terrific vocal abilities as well as dancing abilities. The live orchestra was spot on with the music. It was amazing to watch the actors freeze their action spread throughout the stage while another cast member sang and danced a solo. Excellent direction by Mike Cavalier and his choreography were key reasons this cast performed so well. The auditorium sound system and lighting director added to our entertaining evening. A clever set design used elevators, swinging doors, and even speedy scene changes to quickly change from various offices, street scenes and the mail room. Excellent work. Totally entertaining and very professional!

The performances were great as was the set design, sound, etc. The theater is a nice size. There is a decent size parking lot adjacent to the main building plus plenty of overflow parking close by. They had a concession area and gift shop set up in the lobby for snacks and show related keepsakes. This is a great local theater venue and cannot wait to bring the kids back.

I'd honestly be curious to know just how many locals know that this place is still in operation. I mean, this place has been around FOREVER. They do a pretty good job with dramas, especially when hosted in the smaller more intimate theater on the base floor. Where things get blurry is in the big theater upstairs. The entire property is in desperate need of some TLC... Firstly the Youngstown Playhouse is square in the middle of a pretty bad neighborhood, so don't linger around the area. Secondly, the building & property have been allowed to fall into a pretty significant state of disrepair, however, it is much nicer on the inside. It's really a shame, moreover, you can tell this place used to be pretty special in it's hay-day. Thirdly, the biggest issue is their sound system- it's awful. Every time I have seen a musical here I can't understand half the lyrics. The sound just comes out distorted. Do yourself a solid, come see a drama or comedy & you will have a good time, just pass on the musicals until they upgrade their sound system.

The theater, in general, was clean but pretty small. The auditorium seats are close but comfortable enough. The crowd on this particular night was a much older crowd who laughed at everything, which added to an enjoyable experience. The six person cast ranged from pretty darn good & funny to OK, but no one was horrible. All and all it was a nice local theater and a good place to spend an evening out.

For an encore theater showing movies that are no longer in the bigger theaters, this place is…read morereally good. I missed out on The Martian a few months back and it ended up here which is what prompted me to check it out. There are 5 or 6 individual theaters in the building. Each movie has a maximum of 3 showings a day starting at 1:30pm with the latest showings around 10pm. It looks like they have about 8 movies at any given time. Prices are $4 before 6pm and $5 after however, Tuesday is $3 movie day which is what I took advantage of. I didn't purchase any concessions but glanced at prices and they appear generally lower than most theaters. I recall a large tub of popcorn being $7 and a small drink being $2.50. I believe bottled water was $2. The theaters themselves are very large and there weren't many people there so you could spread out. Less than 10 people at my showing. It was clean but is an older building. The screen is maybe slightly smaller than a normal theater but it wasn't that noticeable. The sound was also good. If I had one complaint it was the seats weren't the best. I was fine in them for a 2 hour movie but they are older and don't recline much or have much padding. All in all for $3 this is a winner for me. If I miss a movie or I'm curious about a movie but don't want to pay full price, I'll just wait for it to show up here. Of course, if It is a movie I really want to see and am looking for a full theater experience, I'll pony up the extra cash and see it in IMAX or XD.

While yes they put on grand shows with amazing sets and costumes, they lack a good work ethic and environment for the cast. The behavior of many people even adults working on shows is childish and unprofessional. I expected to come to this theatre and not have people on the board for the theatre to be gossipy and rude. I hope if I ever audition for another show at this theatre it has a better environment for the cast and people working on the show. I wish the best of luck for the people of this theatre and their future with any shows.
