The O鈥橬eill opened, as the Forrest Theatre, in 1925. Named for Edwin Forrest, one of America鈥檚 first great classical actors, the theatre was produced by the Shuberts and designed by Herbert J. Krapp. Under new management, the venue became the Coronet Theatre in 1945. In 1959, it was renamed in honor of playwright Eugene O鈥橬eill, who died six years prior.
