‘A Bronx Tale’ Show with Palminteri at Robins
WARREN, Ohio – “A Bronx Tale: The One Man Show Starring Chazz Palminteri” will come to Packard Music Hall on Oct. 4.
Palminteri, who starred in the iconic 1993 film “A Bronx Tale” and also wrote the screenplay, will discuss the film.

Film Screening to Benefit Blast Victims
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – “The Apprazer,” a satirical short film, will be screened at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Knox Building, 110 W. Federal St., downtown.
The 30-minute film was made by Mahoning Valley native Chris Strollo in 1996.
The screening will take place on the third floor. Spectators will enter through The Federal restaurant. The suggested donation is $5.
There will also be an art auction, featuring works by Eric Alleman, James Traficant and Jason Van Hoose. All proceeds will benefit the residents of International Towers and Realty Tower, both downtown.
The adjacent structures have been closed in the wake of the May 28 explosion at Realty Tower, which is currently being demolished. The residents of International Towers have been forced to leave until it is safe to return to their apartments.
According to its synopsis, “The Apprazer” is about an animated real estate agent made of metal junk who is trying to pawn off the historic buildings of Youngstown before they are demolished.
Commentaries from small-business owners, artists squatting in condemned lofts, homeless individuals and city officials drive the film.
“Facts and fiction intermingle with surreal animation, historical footage and original music,” the synopsis states.
The razing of Realty Tower can be construed as being part of a larger story about Youngstown’s historic buildings, according to the sponsors of the screening.
