In operation since 1924, the Youngstown Playhouse presents itself as "America's Oldest Ongoing Community Theater".
As it opens its 2010-2011 season, the organization is seeing record sold-out shows based upon their rendition of "Chicago", with refined music sounds of a 14-piece band and young local talent.

Because the performance is such a blockbuster, they've added a Sunday show this weekend.
Performances which were really amazing during the show:
- Donna Huntey's consistent outstanding vocals as Mama Morton, especially in "When You're Good to Mama"
- The choreography of the entire stage, especially Kayla Boye (Roxy) and Brian Palumbo (Billy) during "We Both Reached for the Gun"
- Natalia Lepore Hagan in just about everything she's on stage for
kudos to the band and the actors and the directors who made the show shine.
As the show demonstrates, you have to plan big to get big.
