The man who directed the last two musicals at the Youngstown Playhouse now will direct its administrative path.

Tyler Stouffer is the new managing director for the theater, which is in the middle of its 101st season.

It’s the first managing director at the Playhouse since James McClellan resigned in 2020. Board President John Cox said Kayla Boye handled some of those tasks during the pandemic, but she was working remotely.

“Because of the two stages down on Glenwood (the Playhouse main stage and Moyer Room) and us now taking over the downtown space (in the Morley Building), we’re going to have three different venues, and that’s going to require a little bit more organization, a little bit more of somebody being on top of stuff,” Cox said. “I love my board, but they’re all volunteers.”
