My take on the O'Neill Website

I have a similar take as everyone else. The actual design isn't too bad, but the organization of information is too confusing. However, the pictures are great!
The main thing that really bothered me was the organization, or lack there of. Every link was confusing and too busy. I felt like I didn't really find subtopics that were relevant to their main topics. They seem to be really obsessed with the Monte Cristo Cottage, because it has a link in about three different places. Maybe they need to find an appropriate link for it and why it is relevant to the website (maybe under a "History" link.)
Being new to the website and any information about the O'Neill Theatre, I felt very overwhelmed and that I had to click every link to sort of find what I was looking for. There seemed to be too much detail in unnecessary places and not enough where more information was needed.
The only thing that kept my interest was the pictures. I figured by their pictures it was obvious that they kept themselves busy at the theater. There seems to be many people supporting the theater and involved in all of their events. If I were looking into their programs however, the website could turn me off forever. It's amazing what a little organization and proof reading can do as far as keeping people interested!
