DeYor Performing Arts Center

==DeYor Performing Arts Center== The DeYor Performing Arts Center, located at 260 West Federal Street in Youngstown, Ohio, is a prominent cultural hub renowned for its diverse range of events, including theater performances, concerts, recitals, weddings, banquets, and business events. It serves as the home of the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra, enriching the community with musical performances and educational opportunities. ===History=== The center's history is deeply rooted in the legacy of the Warner Brothers, with the Edward W. Powers Auditorium originally opening its doors in 1931 as the Warner Theatre. It was built as a tribute to Sam Warner, one of the Warner Brothers who began their illustrious movie empire in Youngstown. The auditorium has since been named after Edward W. Powers and has evolved into a 2,300-seat theater. It boasts a stage capable of accommodating a wide array of touring performances and local productions. The Grand Lobby and Spanish Room, both integral parts of the original structure, offer a historic and grand setting for various events. In 2006, the DeYor Performing Arts Center expanded to include the Ford Family Recital Hall and the Eleanor Beecher Flad Pavilion. This addition introduced a modern 600-seat recital hall and a glass lobby space that stands in contemporary contrast to the 1931 Grand Lobby, yet complements the overall aesthetic and functionality of the center. ===Facilities=== The center's facilities are diverse and cater to a broad spectrum of cultural and private events: * '''Edward W. Powers Auditorium:''' The cornerstone of the center, featuring a large seating capacity and a stage for major performances. * '''Ford Family Recital Hall:''' A modern venue for smaller, more intimate performances and gatherings. * '''Eleanor Beecher Flad Pavilion:''' A versatile space often used for receptions and community events. * '''Adler Art Academy:''' Situated within the original Warner Theatre building, the academy offers spaces for ballet, rehearsals, and arts education, including office space for administrative functions.
