About the Foundation
The Eugene O’Neill Foundation, Tao House, was established in 1974 for the purposes of acquiring O’Neill’s former residence in Danville, California and establishing it as a historic monument. Since then the foundation has devoted itself to developing the site into a center that promotes the vision and legacy of American’s first great playwright, Eugene O’Neill, through numerous educational, artistic, and research programs.
