About us
Do you ever feel that life is a Strange Interlude? Do these troubled times feel like Days Without End? Would you like to look Beyond the Horizon and deep into human nature to gain real self-knowledge and understanding, while having fun at the same time? If so, this group is for you! Anyone who appreciates great theater or is curious about what truly motivates us, is welcome. We will read and discuss the works of Eugene O'Neill, the only Nobel-winning American playwright, in the spirit of authentic self-discovery. O'Neill's plays cover every facet of human nature; if you've felt it, he's written about it. His works explore the dark underbelly of human nature in a very entertaining manner, but at the same time offer a way out through self-understanding. No dogma or politics in this group; just stimulating conversation with like-minded people. Individuality and free thought are encouraged, as is just plain fun. Take a break from everyday life and go deep. You don't want to miss this!

A Moon for the Misbegotten: O'Neill Makes Misery Profoundly Entertaining
·OnlineOnlineOne O'Neillian describes A Moon for the Misbegotten as "A cosmic gut punch." That's about as cheerful as it gets.
If your idea of a fun evening includes laughter, heartbreak, family dysfunction, guilt, redemption, and enough emotional baggage to fill a freight train, then Eugene O'Neill has just the ticket.
This play begins as what seems like a lively battle of wits on a Connecticut farm. Before long, however, O'Neill quietly pulls the rug out from under everyone—including the audience. What unfolds is one of the most profound and emotionally satisfying plays ever written, filled with earthy humor, unforgettable characters, and moments of extraordinary tenderness.
We'll be watching the acclaimed 1975 television production starring Jason Robards and Colleen Dewhurst, directed by José Quintero. Robards gives a master class as the haunted James Tyrone, Jr., while Dewhurst is magnificent as the indomitable Josie Hogan. Their chemistry is electrifying, and this production is widely regarded as the definitive interpretation of O'Neill's masterpiece.
Come for the laughs. Stay for the existential reckoning. Leave remembering why O'Neill understood the human heart so well.
Join us on August 6 at 8:00 pm EDT.
