Description

General Admission to Ensemble Theatre's production of LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT by Eugene O'Neill.  Winner of 1957 Pulitzer Prize for Drama! Seating is first come, first served with the exception of members, special seating needs, and press.

At their summer home in Connecticut, each member of the Tyrone family harbors a personal tragedy while maintaining a complicated balance of love and resentment for the others. Father James’s alcoholism, mother Mary’s morphine addiction, younger son Edmund’s advancing illness and elder son Jamie’s bitterness at being a lesser version of his father... these are all just aspects of their daily lives that they must face despite their deep desire to bury and ignore them.  Eugene O’Neill’s autobiographical play is widely regarded as his finest work. First published by Yale University Press in 1956, his powerful exploration of addiction and familial dysfunction won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957, sold more than one million copies, and became a template for many other notable playwrights.

“…a magnificent and shattering play.”—New York Post. “It is a stunning theatrical experience.”—New York Herald-Tribune.
“This is O’Neill’s most beautiful play.”—New York Daily News.
“LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT has been worth waiting for. It restores the drama to literature and the theatre to art.”
—The New York Times.

  • Education and outreach activities, engage youth and local community members through on site programming, residencies, and touring performances.
  • Ensemble adheres to a credo with a policy of non-traditional, casting. This is the use of actors of any race, gender identity or orientation, ethnicity, or degree of disabilities in roles for which such factors are not germane to the development of stage characters or the play.
  • Ensemble Theatre believes that the arts are an essential and meaningful part of life. The theatre offers an important forum for stimulating and provoking thought about the issues of contemporary life, and it is a place for communal experience. Introducing future generations to the arts will enlighten them about the human condition and provide them with a resource to nourish them throughout their lives. All art, including theatre, should be a celebration of diversity and human dignity. The theatre provides the highest possible level of professionalism in all areas to nurture new talent, and to be ever mindful of the power of art to entertain and move the audience.
