One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Dale Wasserman, based on the novel by Ken Kesey - - Matinee Performances June 5, 2010

Redbud Productions presents this classic play (which spawned the Oscar-winning film), directed by Loretta Grimes. Discover why this play has been called “One of the finest, most meaningful and most moving plays of recent years”! Thom Johnson is Randle P. McMurphy, the rambunctious new inmate contriving to serve a sentence in a mental institution rather than undergo prison time. Paul Bianchi, Pat Grimes, Tim Grimes, Doug Harris, Andy Hoag and Richard Sherburne are the timid group of misfit patients whom he tries to rally to question authority and raise their self-esteem. But will they win the battle? The powerful, vindictive Nurse Ratched (Mary Franceschi) holds the key to their freedom. Assisted by her staff (Mark Batell, Joe Eadie, Charles Jackson, Jenny Pritchett, Chris Starkey and Jim Sulllivan) she cruelly plots to keep the patients under her tight control. The talented Redbud cast includes Kyle Marie and Halla Motawi as party girls whom McMurphy sneaks into the institution and Andy Jentzen as Chief Bromden, the brooding half-Indian who serves as the play’s narrator and who will dramatically change under McMurphy’s influence. Join the millions of people who have cheered the efforts of McMurphy, Billy, Harding, Cheswick, Martini, Scanlon and the Chief in this touching, humorous and emotional night of theater!
