「實驗劇場」開幕了：1916年11月3日

尤金‧歐尼爾 (Eugene O』Neill) 是一個在宏都拉斯 (Honduras) 金礦探勘員，在他成為一個成功的劇作家之前，他也在一艘不定期航行貨船上擔任船員。在他加入麻州普洛文斯鎮 (Pronvincetown) 的年輕藝術家海畔度假村假期時，他只有28歲。

這些年輕藝術家共同把傑克船長碼頭 (Captain Jack』s Warf) 上的一棟建築物改建為舞台。這些藝術家自稱為普洛文斯鎮演員，而這個舞台，就是劇作家劇場 (Playwright』s Theater) 。這些藝術家也表演自己創作的戲劇作品。這些演員得到很好的評價，當夏天快要結束時，他們已經準備好到紐約發展了。


Eugene O'Neill worked as a gold prospector in Honduras and as a seaman on a tramp steamer before he discovered success as a playwright. He was 28 years old when he joined a group of young artists vacationing at the seaside resort of Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Together they turned a building on Captain Jack's Wharf into a stage. Calling themselves the Provincetown Players, and their stage, the Playwrights' Theater, the group wrote and performed their own plays. The Players received good reviews, and when the summer season closed they felt ready for New York.
