Support the Playhouse

Community supports community theatre

The Youngstown Playhouse, like many other non-profit organizations, relies on the generosity of its patrons and community to thrive. Ticket sales only support a small percentage of annual expenses for productions and building upkeep. As the Playhouse turns the corner into our next 100 years, please consider making a monetary contribution to help ensure that The Youngstown Playhouse can remain steadfast in 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.
