Centennial Celebration at Vagabond Continues with O'Neill Reading

On December 7, 1916--the year the Vagabonds Players was founded--the Vagabonds produced then-unknown future Pulitzer and Nobel-prize winning playwright Eugene O'Neill's short, one-act play, Bound East for Cardiff. The Vagabond Players paid O'Neill paid $15 for this script, and this was his first royalty ever as a playwright. O'Neill's play shared a bill with Strindberg's The Stranger and Maeterlinck's The Miracle of Saint Anthony.

To honor this unique theatrical connection, the Vagabonds Players will present a staged reading of Bound East for Cardiff on December 7, 2016, at 7pm--100 years to the day the play opened at the Vagabonds. The reading will be followed by a discussion of O'Neill and his Vagabonds connection. You'll want to hear the story of how the Vagabond Players and O'Neill got together. Admission is free and tickets are not required.
