CENTERstage Productions presents The Iceman Cometh, a play written by Eugene O’Neill in 1939 and first published in 1946, premiered on Broadway the same year. Directed by Donna Betts.

Eugene O’Neill, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1936, is generally considered to be one of our greatest playwrights. And The Iceman Cometh is considered by many to be his finest work. 

The play is set at Harry Hope’s rundown saloon and boarding house in 1912, and tells the story of a group of aimless patrons and boarders whose empty lives underscore the human need for dreaming and hope. It opens with the rag tag group awaiting the arrival of their favorite visitor, charismatic salesman Theodore “Hickey” Hickman.
