WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Tony Award-winning actor and Fraiser star, John Mahoney stars as James Tyrone in Eugene O'Neill's classic drama. The play is set in 1912 and depicts a day and night in the life of the Tyrone family at their seaside estate.

Previews May 6 at 8:00and May 7 at 2:30

Opens May 10 at 6:30
