Playhouse extends run of popular ‘Foul Play’

Staff report

YOUNGSTOWN

The Youngstown Playhouse is extending the run of its current production, the comedy “Foul Play,” to meet exceptionally strong ticket demand.

Two performances have been added: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 19 and 20.

This marks the second time “Foul Play” has been extended; last week, the Playhouse added a show on Feb. 14.

Written by local playwright Terry L. Shears, the Playhouse production of “Foul Play” is the world premiere. The play looks in on a fictional community theater as it stages an awful production of a Victorian melodrama.

“Foul Play” is the first in many years at the Playhouse to sell out its entire run before opening night. It is being presented in the theater’s intimate Moyer Room.

Reservations for the additional performances can be made at theyoungstownplayhouse.com or by calling the box office at 330-788-8739.
