FULL TMT “UNSEEN O’NEILL” LAB SCHEDULE:
Beyond the Horizon
by Eugene O’Neill
Lead Artist: Ann Marie Dorr
“Her mind already sinking back into that spent calm beyond the further troubling of any hope” is the final line of O’Neill’s horribly well-made, Pulitzer Prize-winning, starry-eyed, naive tragedy with New England home cooking, two brothers, one girl named Ruth, a farm, and whatever the hell is beyond…beyond…beyond the horizon?
December 1st at 7pm
December 2nd at 7pm
December 3rd at 3pm & 7pm
December 4th at 5pm
Dynamo
by Eugene O’Neill
Lead Artist: Kathleen Kennedy Tobin
Who is the more alluring, whose shape more lovely, whose siren song the sweetest: the girl next door? Or a hydroelectric power generator? A play about taking Technology as your God, and breaking your mother’s heart.
December 2nd at 10pm
December 4th at 2pm
December 15th at 4pm
December 16th at 10pm
Durned Queer
by Eugene O’Neill
Lead Artist: David Herskovits
FREE PERFORMANCES / RSVP TO ATTEND
When O’Neill writes the perfect American family, it is the Mannons: off-center, twisted, just plain “Durned Queer”. Our selection of in-progress work on Mourning Becomes Electra drills into the murky contradictions of an all-American tribe.
December 9th at 4pm
December 10th at 2pm & 5pm
Marco Millions
by Eugene O’Neill
Lead Artists: Claire Moodey and Bess Rowen
FREE PERFORMANCES / RSVP TO ATTEND
A Christian, a Magician, and a Buddhist walk into the desert in the 13th Century. What follows is a satirical exploration of big business, of religion, and love. CUNY students, staff and alumni collaborate with TMT to stage an adaptation of Marco Millions, O’Neill’s fictionalized account of the life and travels of Marco Polo. This production is one of the capstone projects of City University of New York’s Translation Seminar on Public Engagement and Collaborative Research.
December 8th at 7pm at the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center: 365 5th Ave, Manhattan
December 9th at 7pm at the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center: 365 5th Ave, Manhattan
December 11th at 7pm at The Brick
The Great God Brown
by Eugene O’Neill
Lead Artist: Eva von Schweinitz
“I love, thou lovest, he loves, she loves! She loves, she loves – what?”
Yes, what? Can we ever – even in the most intimate relationships – be, and be seen as, our true selves? Dion loves Margaret who only loves him when he’s wearing masquerade. Add a jealous best friend and a prostitute savant to a mix of exuberant exclamations and existential punchlines, and soon questions about truth, failure, and identity arise.
December 14th at 7pm
December 15th at 7pm
December 16th at 7pm
December 17th at 3pm & 7pm
Military Veteran Theater Making Workshop
Led by TMT and Maurice DeCaul
FREE / RSVP TO ATTENDT
The workshop will be structured around the themes of Eugene O’Neill’s writing and include the reading and rigorous discussion of a play by Eugene O’Neill, the asking of deep artistic questions, writing, movement, playing, laughing and other absurdities that will culminate in a small presentation at the end of the day.
December 12th from 10am to 5pm
