This American classic by America’s leading playwright, Eugene O’Neill, is the story of an old, flinty New England hardscrabble farmer determined to take a young wife after burying his first two, and the raging conflict that follows with his sons and the young wife. “Hauntingly filled with love and loathing.” Greek tragedy imposed on an American landscape.

UPDATED: The Passing of Ralph Dennler

Ralph Dennler.

Ralph Dennler.

via Dayton Theatre Guild

It is with heartbreak that we announce that the Dayton theatre community has lost an elder statesman, our beloved Ralph Dennler, who passed away Saturday evening.

We especially feel the loss here at the Guild, where Ralph dedicated more than four decades as an actor, director, and long-standing board member who worked tirelessly and passionately to fulfill the Guild mission of “Good Theatre Done Well.”

Goodbye Dear Ralph, we miss you already.
