A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN

By Eugene O’Neill – Nobel Laureate and Four-Time Pulitzer Prize Winner
Directed by Tyler Hammond

“On the Road to a New Home” — ABET is on the move! This season, we’re taking you on an adventure — bringing intimate, powerful theatre to unique spaces across Jacksonville as we search for our new permanent home in Atlantic Beach.

The Journey Begins with O’Neill’s Classic

First stop on our road trip: WJCT Studios, downtown across from the Everbank Stadium.

We’re opening our 34th season with Eugene O’Neill’s A Moon for the Misbegotten — a raw, funny, and deeply human masterpiece about love, forgiveness, and finding redemption under the moonlight.

Location: WJCT Studio B 100 Festival Park Ave. Jacksonville, FL 32202
It is across from Everbank Stadium with its own dedicated parking lot.

From the pen of one of America’s greatest dramatists comes a searing, lyrical tale of longing, redemption, and the fleeting power of love. ABET proudly presents Eugene O’Neill’s A Moon for the Misbegotten — a haunting and deeply human story set on a hardscrabble Connecticut farm in the aftermath of Long Day’s Journey Into Night.

This powerful work follows the fierce, witty Josie Hogan and the tormented James Tyrone Jr. as they navigate a single moonlit night that holds the possibility of truth, tenderness, and emotional reckoning. As secrets unravel and defenses crumble, O’Neill crafts a raw, poetic portrait of damaged souls reaching for connection in a world that has offered them little mercy.

Written by Eugene O’Neill, the only American playwright awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and winner of four Pulitzer Prizes, A Moon for the Misbegotten is a cornerstone of 20th-century American theatre — intimate, elegiac, and emotionally unforgettable.

A rare chance to witness the brilliance of O’Neill’s later work, ABET’s production brings this timeless masterpiece to life with grit, grace, and honesty.
