Playhouse building to host fundraiser in June
YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Playhouse building will again see action — possibly even for a theatrical production — for the first time since it was abruptly closed in October.
The facility off Glenwood Avenue will be the scene of a Playhouse fundraiser June 20 in the lobby and adjacent Moyer Room.
“A Night at the Races in Vegas” will have a casino-theme with video horse racing, games, a silent auction, hors d’eouvres and cash bar. Actors and actresses will offer services while dressed in costumes.
The Playhouse had already scheduled two productions for this summer at Boardman Center Middle School. The Neil Simon play “Barefoot in the Park” will be its first production since “Company” closed Oct. 4. It opens a two-weekend run July 10.
“Blues in the Night,” a musical revue, will open a two-weekend run July 31.
