O’Neill Summer Season Will Take Place Entirely Online

Due to COVID-19, the 2020 O’Neill Summer Season will take place entirely online. Our 56th season will contain no public performances or events on our Waterford, CT campus. For the safety of our staff, artists, students, and audiences we feel this is the best course of action for our community. 
 
We will miss the 380 artists, 75 staff, 38 interns, 26 students, and hundreds of audience members who planned to spend their summer with us laughing at shadow puppets in the Dina, celebrating the birth of a new musical in the Barn, feeling the electricity of a new play come to life under the stars, serenaded at a cabaret table, and raising a glass with friends on Blue Gene’s Pub Patio.

We grieve for moments of connection and community that will be lost by not being together this summer but are inspired by the innovation taking place within our institution as we move online together.

Details about how each of our programs will continue can be found here.
 
Our support for creatives of all stripes continues through artistic and educational opportunities, facilitating meaningful engagement, advocacy, and monetary support. In the coming weeks, we look forward to introducing you to some of the artists we will be supporting and working with this season. We will also share ways in which we can all connect (virtually) this summer!
