Pearl Theatre Company Closes A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN

The Pearl Theatre Company's production of Eugene O'Neill's A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN plays its final performance tonight, April 15 at New York City Center Stage II. This masterpiece, written in the twilight of O'Neill's illustrious career, follows a moonlight encounter between two lonely souls. The production was directed by J.R. Sullivan.

The 5-person cast for A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN included Dan Daily (Phil Hogan), a Pearl company member since 1998, who has appeared off-Broadway with The New Group, Keen Company, and Classic Stage Company. Kim Martin-Cotten (Josie Hogan) made her debut with The Pearl, having been seen on Broadway in Merchant of Venice (with Al Pacino) and in the national tour of August: Osage County. Regionally, she has appeared at The Goodman Theatre, The Actors Theatre of Louisville, and the Shakespeare Theatre DC. Andrew May (James Tyrone), having also made his debut with the company, has been seen regionally with the Cleveland Play House, Great Lakes Theater, and Williamstown Theatre Festival. He will be seen in the upcoming national tour of War Horse. Kern McFadden (T. Stedman Harder), last appeared at The Pearl as Oronte in The Misanthrope. He has appeared in New York with the Irish Repertory Theatre and regionally with The Old Globe, the La Jolla Playhouse, and the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Sean McNall (Mike Hogan), a member of The Pearl company since 2003, was featured this season in the title role of Richard II and last season as Alceste in The Misanthrope. Mr. McNall received a 2008 OBIE Award for Sustained Excellence in Performance.

Centered on the passionate and lonely Josie Hogan and the self-destructive James Tyrone, a character modeled on O'Neill's own older brother, A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN has been hailed as one of O'Neill's masterpieces and as one of the great works of the American stage. Having premiered in 1947, the play is a haunting exploration of despair, love, and resurrection.

The Pearl is an artistic home for a diverse company of theatre professionals, especially a core company of resident actors.
