Join trustees from theater organizations across the nation for five days at the Eugene
O'Neill Theater Center at its idyllic National Historical Trust campus in Waterford,
Connecticut, overlooking Long Island Sound, as well as at the Monte Cristo Cottage,
Eugene O'Neill's homestead and the setting for Long Day's Journey into Night and Ah,
Wilderness! Plan to arrive Monday, July 12th, before 2pm.
The Trustee Residency was founded by O'Neill Board Member Dr. Jerome Meyer and
prepares theater trustees to be of optimum benefit to their organizations by gaining a
keen understanding of the theater development process and the responsibilities of
trusteeship. The Residency provides participants the opportunity to attend artistic
conference rehearsals, readings and performances along with topical seminars on the Art
of Trusteeship.
This year's Residency will take place during the O'Neill's Commercial Theater Institute,
National Playwrights Conference, National Music Theater Conference and National Critics
Institute. Trustee Residency participants will attend roundtable discussions with NPC Artistic
Director Wendy C. Goldberg, NMTC Artistic Director Paulette Haupt, NCI Director Daniel
Sullivan, and producer and O'Neill Board Chair Tom Viertel-as well as distinguished
guests from both the commercial and non-profit worlds.
These guests will lead seminars on topics ranging from strategic planning and intellectual
property rights to philanthropic trends in theater and more.
The program fee is $1,000 ($900 for TCG Members). To apply, send a letter of intent, along
with a letter of recommendation from your theater's Artistic Director, Managing Director or
Board Chair. Please enclose a deposit of $250, payable to the O'Neill Theater Center.
The fee balance is due May 1, 2010. Letters should be addressed to: O'Neill Trustee
Residency 1501 Broadway, Suite 1915, New York, NY 10036.
The program fee covers all seminars, meals, and, depending on where you stay, local
travel. We can recommend accommodations, but registrants are responsible for
reservations and payment.
