This landmark staging brings together actors and production artists whose collective experience with O’Neill’s work spans more than four decades, deepening the emotional scope and authenticity of one of the greatest plays in American dramatic literature. “O’Neill has always held a special place in Ensemble’s artistic legacy,” says Co-Director Ian Wolfgang Hinz. “His work demands rigor, emotional vulnerability, and profound honesty, qualities our company has embraced for nearly fifty years. Returning to Long Day’s Journey Into Night in our 46th Season is both a tribute to our history and a commitment to the kind of theatre that shaped Ensemble from the very beginning.”, adds Co-Director Rebecca Moseley. ------------------------------ A Legacy with O’Neill >From its earliest years, Ensemble Theatre has maintained a deep relationship with Eugene O’Neill’s works, including critically acclaimed productions of A Moon for the Misbegotten, The Iceman Cometh, Beyond the Horizon, The Hairy Ape, and Anna Christie. This 2026 staging furthers that legacy, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience O’Neill’s most autobiographical and arguably most powerful play in an intimate venue. ------------------------------ Production Teaser In the span of one single day, the Tyrones reveal their deepest wounds, addiction, resentment, longing, and a love that refuses to disappear. As fog rolls over the Connecticut shore, the family navigates a past that cannot be undone and a future that cannot be avoided. O’Neill’s masterpiece remains as piercing, relevant, and heartbreaking today as when it was first written. “…a magnificent and shattering play.” (New York Post.) “It is a stunning theatrical experience.” (New York Herald-Tribune) “This is O’Neill’s most beautiful play.” (New York Daily News) “LONG DAY’S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT has been worth waiting for. It restores the drama to literature and the theatre to art.” (The New York Times). ------------------------------ CAST - James Tyrone – Doug Sutherland - Mary Tyrone – Mary Alice Beck - Jamie Tyrone – Daniel Zalevsky - Edmund Tyrone – Michael Montanus - Cathleen – Mia Radabaugh/ Rebecca Moseley ------------------------------ PERFORMANCE DETAILS Dates: February 6–22, 2026, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm Performances are held at the Marinello Little Theatre, on the campus of John Carroll University *Opening celebration (with Chocolate Covered Strawberries) following Sunday Matinee 2/8/25* Ticket Information: - Opening Weekend & All Sunday Matinees: Pay What You Will - Regular Admission: - Adult General Admission: $40 - Seniors: $38 - Students: $18 Tickets available at ensembletheatrecle.org*, *or by calling the* box office* at* 216-321-2930 ***Military and other Group Discounts Available. * ------------------------------ ENSEMBLE THEATRE’S 46th SEASON Entering its 46th year, Ensemble Theatre continues its mission to produce impactful, script-centered work that explores the complexity of the human condition.
