Based on the novel of the same name, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” takes place in a ward of a psychiatric hospital. A new patient arrives and quickly disrupts the routine carefully controlled by the steely head nurse, rallying the other patients and creating a battle of wills between the patients and the hospital staff.
The show contains explicit language and adult situations and is not suggested for children.
A reception with hors d'oeuvres and wine and beer will be held at 6 p.m. on Saturday Feb. 15. Tickets for the reception may be purchased in advance during box office hours or at the door for $10.
