Individual - $55
Family - $85
Edith - $150
Edith Oliver, best known as theater critic for the New Yorker, was an institution at the O'Neill from the very beginning. The O'Neill's outdoor theater named in her memory sits under two copper beech trees and is where August Wilson's Fences was first performed during the 1983 National Playwright's Conference.
Blue Gene's - $250
Since the 1970s, O'Neill Members have gathered with conference artists for conversation and libation during the busy summer months when Blue Gene's Pub is open to the public. After the performance of each conference production, it's a tradition for a signed program to be posted in the Pub, where programs now on display go back to the 80s.
Rose Barn - $500
Named in honor of Margo and Rufus Rose, pioneers in the art of puppetry, the Rose Barn Theater is one of the three main performance spaces at the O'Neill, and one of the most unique spaces available to artists. Maury Yeston's Tony Award-winning NINE was first performed in the Rose Barn.
Dina - $1000
This O'Neill theater was named in honor of long-time supporter Dina Merrill, screen and stage icon, after extensive renovations to the space in the 1990s made by possible by Ms. Merrill and her husband Ted Hartley. The Dina is an incredibly transformable space, used for Plays, Musicals, Cabaret and NTI performances, special guest speakers and events such as the annual Eugene O'Neill Celebration.
Monte Cristo - $2500
James O'Neill, father of our namesake, was best known for his stage role as the Count of Monte Cristo. He enjoyed such great success, he named the family's summer home after the character. Owned by the O'Neill, Monte Cristo Cottage, setting for Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Ah, Wilderness! is a Registered National Landmark open to the public for tours between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Walnut Grove - $5000
The O'Neill's campus is located in the 40-acre site known Walnut Grove Estate, named by its first resident, Revolutionary War general William North, for a grove of Walnut trees that once grew near the ledge overlooking Long Island Sound. It is said he became enamored of the property while yachting along the Sound in 1820.
Copper Beech - $10,000
This, the highest level of O'Neill Membership, recalls the huge Copper Beech trees that dot the O'Neill campus. They shelter its theaters and programs and provide a green canopy for artists and guests some summer Conferences. The ancient trees stand tall and strong -- emblematic of the lasting vitality of Eugene O'Neill's work and of the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's long tradition of theatrical excellence.
