Title: Palace Theater memories
Post by: Towntalk on February 23, 2009, 12:41:15 AM
While many of us remember the famous orchestras that played the Palace Theater, how many remember the Broadway road companies that brought great Broadway shows to Youngstown?

On my WebShots site I have six examples.

These shows were brought here by the Broadway Theater League and all the performers were professionals.

I really enjoy looking at the collection of photos you've put together.
Although it sickens me to see how much history this city has lost.

It should sicken you about how much history the city may still lose due to apathy.  I noticed nobody but Dennis Spisak showed up at the steel museum volunteer meeting last Saturday.  The stuff doesn't preserve itself.
