Eugene O'Neill Theater Center
Founded in 1964, the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center is the country’s preeminent organization dedicated to the development of new works and new voices for American theater. In the bold tradition of its namesake Eugene O’Neill – four-time Pulitzer Prize Winner and America’s only playwright to win the Nobel Prize in Literature – the O’Neill has been home to more than 1,000 new works for the stage and to more than 2,500 emerging artists. Scores of projects developed at the O’Neill have gone on to full production at other theaters around the world, including Broadway, Off-Broadway, and major regional theaters.
Recipient of a 2010 Tony Award for Regional Theatre and 1979 Tony Award for
Theatrical Excellence, O’Neill programs include the National Playwrights
Conference, National Music Theater
Conference, National
Critics Institute, National
Puppetry Conference, Cabaret

Institute (NTI). NTI offers intensive theater training
programs for academic credit, including the brand-new National
Music Theater Institute, the Moscow
