SUMMARY:20th Annual Eugene O'Neill Festival Opens!
DESCRIPTION:Haunted Poets\nEugene O’Neill and Tennessee Williams\nThe 20th Annual Eugene O’Neill Festival in Danville\, CA will feature three plays – Long Day’s Journey Into Night\, The Glass Menagerie and The Second Girl – an Irish music concert\, a guided hike to Tao House\, a historic guided walk of O’Neill’s Danville and more.. \n  \nPLEASE CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION\, INCLUDING EXACT DATES AND TIMES OF ALL OUR 2019 FESTIVAL PRODUCTIONS AND EVENTS. \n  \nTICKETS ARE AVAILABLE HERE \n  \nHaunted Poets\nAll of us wrestle with our demons. The choices we’ve made or the people we’ve hurt or who hurt us follow us throughout our lives. Often these painful episodes involve those closest to us. A great writer is one who finds a way to tell the story of these struggles in such a way that we can recognize that their story is in part our story. At the heart of this year’s Eugene O’Neill Festival will be the soul-stirring artistic confessions of two of our greatest haunted poets: Eugene O’Neill and Tennessee Williams. The festival will feature productions of O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night at Tao House and Williams’ The Glass Menagerie at the Village Theatre in downtown Danville.  These plays are powerful and poetic demonstrations of how\, for these playwrights\, the ghosts of the past continued to haunt their imaginations. \n  \n  \n

I knew performing in front of patrons was very unlikely and most of my virtual theatre or “Zoom theatre” experiences have not been satisfying. I longed for the spark created when actors actually share a stage. I began to visualize videotaping O’Neill’s plays in a safe and responsible manner. \nO’Neill’s drafty open-air Old Barn played a key role in my planning. Besides offering the magic of Tao House\, the Old Barn was a covered yet safe space to work. Additionally\, the remnants of the set from last fall’s production of Long Day’s Journey Into Night gave us a theatrical backdrop for our stories. I am no stranger to editing O’Neill’s plays\, but this time I needed to edit the plays so actors could maintain a safe social distance while also allowing the characters and their stories to be represented truthfully. As directors and actors\, we need to justify character actions on stage if we are going to tell a story honestly and touch on universal human truths. I told the ensemble of nine actors that I had removed all “fighting\, kissing\, and sitting” in the three scripts while still pursuing the spirit of O’Neill’s work. We were going to keep our distance\, keep it moving\, and still build dramatic tension. \nThis meant that\, as a director\, I not only had to block out the movements of the play\, as I normally would\, but I had to justify the additional space between actors and create emotionally connected moments while keeping actors 6 feet apart. The actors adapted quickly to this strategy. A key ingredient to the magic of live theatre comes from the dynamic energy exchanged when actors look into each other’s eyes and hear each other speak from the heart. I wanted these plays\, despite being recorded\, to capture that magic. \nOver a two-week period in late July and early August\, we rehearsed and then\, page by page\, videotaped our three early O’Neill plays: The Web\, Abortion\, and Recklessness. As a director\, and now cameraman\, I tried to vary the shots to add visual variety. I told the actors we are creating recorded stage performances\, not a film. I wanted them to concentrate on each other and forget the camera. \nWe completed the crucial step of coming together to create\, and now it is my responsibility to see that all the footage recorded in the Old Barn is edited and shaped into compelling theatre. All three plays touch on the limitations placed on women in the early 20th century—issues of class\, economic power (who has it and who does not)\, access to medical care\, the right to an abortion\, and police bias. O’Neill wrote these plays more than 100 years ago\, but he chose challenging subjects that our society still struggles with today. We look forward to sharing these stories with our audiences this fall. \nFor more on the three plays\, please check back here\, and sign up to get our emailings! \nThe Foundation would appreciate your donations to cover hiring our nine actors and other production-related expenses. \n  \nDISCUSSIONS WITH SCHOLARS \n“THE WEB” DRAMATURGY PACKET \nCHECK OUT OUR VIRTUAL GENE PAGE HERE \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nYour donation helps cover production costs and enables us to continue bringing performances and programs that promote the legacy and vision of America’s greatest playwright.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Zander Brietzke
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWhen Eugene O’Neill moved into Tao House\, he had designs on a sprawling series of 11 plays capturing the spirit of the American story through the life of an Irish-American family.  Unfortunately\, only two of the plays\, A Touch of the Poet and More Stately Mansions survive. In his new book Magnum Opus: The Cycle Plays of Eugene O’Neill\, author Zander Brietzke argues that the abandoned project was more successful than traditionally thought. Brietzke provocatively makes the case that the heart of the intended cycle lives in the 2 existing plays and that the true center of this epic endeavor is the Irish immigrant Sara Melody. Join us for a conversation between Zander Brietzke and EONF Artistic Director Eric Fraisher Hayes on April 22\, 2021\, 7:00 pm PDT. \nJOIN THE ZOOM CONVERSATION HERE \nORDER THE BOOK HERE! \n  \n \nZander Brietzke\, author; Magnum Opus: The Cycle Plays of Eugene O’Neill \n  \nZander Brietzke graduated from Missouri Southern (BA\, Theatre) in his hometown of Joplin\, MO. He earned an MFA (directing) from The University of Alabama (1985) and later worked as a production assistant for the inaugural seasons of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in Montgomery (1985–1987). Pivoting from performance to research and scholarship\, Zander accepted a fellowship from Stanford University and completed a PhD in Drama in 1993. He subsequently taught theatre history and dramatic literature at Lehigh University and The College of Wooster for six years. \nHe left Ohio in 1998 to support his wife’s publishing career in New York. Staying home in Cobble Hill\, Brooklyn\, with two small children\, Zander embarked on a new path as a stay-at-home dad and independent scholar. He wrote one prior monograph on O’Neill\, The Aesthetics of Failure (2001)\, followed by American Drama in the Age of Film (2007)\, Teaching with the Norton Anthology of Drama (2009)\, and Action and Consequence in Ibsen\, Strindberg & Chekhov(2017). Zander served as president of the Eugene O’Neill Society in 2004–05\, edited seven volumes of the Eugene O’Neill Review from 2004 until 2010\, and is now the book editor of the journal. He has also taught modern and contemporary drama regularly in the English Department at Columbia University on a part-time basis—and he would gladly accept a full-time appointment almost anywhere! \nHe and his wife\, Carol\, currently live in the lovely town of Montclair\, New Jersey. \nZander Brietzke\, MFA\, PhD\nWebsite: zanderbrietzke.com\nBook Editor: The Eugene O’Neill Review\nAuthor: Magnum Opus: The Cycle Plays of Eugene O’Neill (Yale 2021)
