At the heart of Eugene O’Neill’s play The Hairy Ape is the universal need to find where one belongs in the world. This year’s Festival is dedicated to this basic principle. Complementing a Tao House production of The Hairy Ape will be performances of Lee Osorio’s Prisontown which delves into the complexities of a town relying on an immigrant detention facility as its life blood resulting in moral challenges that lead to apathy and activism in the face of the dehumanizing of others. This fall we are offering stories of people haunted by forces that they don’t understand and yet need to pursue on a journey to discover themselves and where they belong.
