by Eugene O’Neill

Directed by Rusty Wilson
September 26th - October 11th, 2025

Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a searing American classic by Eugene O’Neill, set over the course of a single day in August 1912 at the Tyrones’ seaside home in Connecticut. Based on O’Neill’s own family, the play follows four deeply entangled characters as they confront addiction, regret, and long-buried resentments. With piercing honesty and emotional depth, it explores the fragile bonds of family and the pain of unfulfilled dreams.

Virginia Premiere!

a Distinct society

Written and directed by kareem fahmy

aUGUST 20th - sEPTEMBER 7th 2025

Nothing much ever happens in a sleepy library that straddles the border of the U.S. and Canada. But when an Iranian father and daughter, separated by the "Muslim ban”, begin using the library as a meeting place, the French-Canadian librarian, an American border patrol agent and a local teenager find their quiet lives suddenly full of excitement and consequence. Inspired by true events, A Distinct Society is a touching and funny play about the many things—family, food, art, love, and politics—that can either divide or unite us.

Pay-What-You-Will Previews: November 12th and 13th
Opening Night: Friday, November 14th
Final Performance: Sunday, November 30th
