Norm Foster’s Love List

Sunday, February 9 2025 @ 2:30 pm

Love List

The Friends of The Playhouse presents Norm Foster’s sparkling comedy Love List in the intimate Moyer Room, running January 31-February 2 and February 7-9.

In this side-splitting and thought-provoking play, two friends, Leon and Bill, draft a list of the top ten qualities in an ideal mate. However, when their “perfect woman” miraculously appears, they discover the pitfalls of perfection and learn that their list might need some serious revisions. With witty humor and insightful commentary on relationships, Love List promises a night of laughter and reflection.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:30pm beginning January 31 to February 2 and February 7 to February 9, 2025. Tickets are available for purchase online at YoungstownPlayhouse.org or by calling the box office at 330-259-6951.
