Vagabond Players to Stage Reading of O'Neill's BOUND EAST FOR CARDIFF

By:

The Vagabond Players will present a staged reading of "Bound East for Cardiff" on Wednesday, December 7, 2016, at 8pm--100 years to the day the play opened during the Vagabond's inaugural season.

The reading, directed by Mark Scharf, will be followed by a discussion of O'Neill and his Vagabond 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.

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 $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."

Come and enjoy this dramatic piece of history at the Oldest Continuously Running Little Theater in America located at 806 S. Broadway on the Square in Fells Point.
