The classic Eugene O'Neill play is being helmed by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and director David Auburn. Performances are set to begin March 10, running through April 10.
The cast also includes Mary Beth Fisher as Mary Tyrone, Michael Doonan as Edmund, Dan Waller as James and Alanna Rogers as Cathleen.
Long Day's Journey Into Night premiered on Broadway in 1956. The Tony-winning play tells the story of the troubled Tyrone family: a miserly actor father, a morphine-addicted mother, an alcoholic older son and sickly younger brother.
"Aging patriarch James Tyrone has ascended from humble beginnings as an Irish American immigrant to build a legendary and lucrative career as an actor," state Court Theatre production notes. "A paragon of the American dream, James Tyrone, his wife Mary, and their two grown sons live together in their summer home in Connecticut. Beneath the shiny veneer of the Tyrone family’s success, however, something is deeply and irreversibly amiss. As a once bright morning fades slowly into a dreary fog of evening, the characters crash together and pull apart inside a web of long-held suffering, buried secrets, and unspoken trauma. As powerful as it is poignant, Long Day’s Journey into Night offers a searing depiction of a family as they struggle to heal themselves and forgive each other."
