Launchpad of the American Theater: The O’Neill Since 1964

About the project

May 17 – September 16, 2014

Since its founding in 1964, the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center has shaped the course of the American and world theater, creating standard practices and discovering new artists and new work in every discipline.  Through its programs in plays, musicals, puppetry, cabaret, criticism, and an undergraduate school, the O’Neill has launched the careers of some of the most talented artists and most recognizable plays and musicals in the American theater. The exhibition celebrated the O’Neill’s 50th birthday and chared the journey from past to present to future through drawings, interviews, videos, photographs, original scripts, and sound.

The exhibition design was a collaboration with GW (Skip) Mercier, a Tony nominated set, puppet, and costume designer.
