For his first show as artistic director, Les Waters stages Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning epic drama about a family of four who struggles to forgive one another after a dark, regretful past. “Long Day’s Journey into Night” is not commonly put on in this region and hasn’t been presented on the Actors stage since 1973. “It’s a titanic play for a quartet of extraordinary actors,” Waters says. “It’s the greatest play about family of all time, a play about love’s struggles and confusions and failed promises.” The cast is full of brand new faces to Louisville, including Obie Award-winning actress Lisa Emery. Chat with them face to face at “Cocktails with the Cast” on Oct. 18, or “Conversation with the Artists” on Oct. 21. —Jane Mattingly
