About this venue

In 1926, Stambaugh Auditorium began as the dream of Henry H. Stambaugh, a prominent Youngstown Steel Tycoon and philanthropist. In his will, Henry had stated that he wished for a trust fund to be started for an Auditorium which would be constructed for the benefit of the people of Youngstown, the city which he called his life-long home. 100 years later in 2026, Stambaugh Auditorium remains a space dedicated to advancing the arts in Youngstown, Ohio. A fine example of Greco-Roman architecture, the space underwent many renovations through the years, including the Jeanne D. Tyler Grand Ballroom, the Anne K. Christman Memorial Hall, and the Concert Hall. Each renovation was done with special care to stay as true to the original design of the spaces and original architecture as possible. From symphony concerts, to corporate dinners, comedians, to a beautiful wedding reception, Stambaugh Auditorium remains dedicated to providing the Youngstown community with a space for every event!
