A Moon for the Misbegotten at Ensemble Theatre: March 8-31 Written by Eugene O'Neill, directed by Ian Wolfgang Hinz. Following the events of O’Neill’s classic Long Day’s Journey into Night, Moon brings James “Jamie” Tyrone, Jr. to the home of his tenant farmer, Mike Hogan, a salty Irish geezer. There he encounters, after years, Hogan’s voluptuous, Amazon-like daughter, Josie. One moonlit night, as the lovestruck Josie seems to claim him as her own, the truculent, drunken Jamie drowns in a wave of self-pity and remorse. When dawn comes, the moon is gone and so is the man, leaving Josie with a new challenge to her dauntless spirit. March 8 only: happy hour 6-8 p.m. (cash bar, 21+) and post-show reception with chocolate-covered strawberries. Box office opens at 7, show starts at 8. Show runs through March 31, Fridays & Saturdays @ 8 p.m., Sundays @ 2 p.m. Full schedule and advance tickets at Ensemble’s web site.
