A one-man, one-act play on the life of Eugene O'Neill, Into the Wake of Moon was written and is performed by Gravenhorst, of San Jose, who portrays American playwright Eugene O'Neill in a performance that explores the connection between O'Neill's life and his drama.

"O'Neill is known for bringing realism to the American stage, but he brought so much more," said Gravenhorst. "He created a distinctly American drama of tragic beauty, exultance and revelation-and brought to the American theatre the religious spirit of the ancient Greeks. O'Neill himself said, 'The stuff of drama comes out of your life, not out of your head.' His life is the drama I wanted to present."

Parking lots 1, 5, 6 and 7 provide easy access to the Studio Theater. Visitors must purchase a campus parking permit for $2. Foothill College is located off I-280 on El Monte Road
