Live-music venues worth the trip in Warren, Ohio

Warren’s 1955 hall endowed by industrialist William Doud Packard’s 1920 will, hosting touring Broadway, concerts and the free monthly Packard Band concerts, a hall its about page calls “an attractive location for enroute productions” in a city centrally located between Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

Daniel Robins’ theater in Warren, built in 1922 and opened in January 1923, Italian Renaissance outside and Adam style within by its own about page, dark from 1974 until Downtown Development Group bought it in December 2017 and committed to a two-year restoration, with three seating levels and a Club bar that opens two hours before each show.
