One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
July 10-18, 2026

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a powerful and thought-provoking drama set inside a psychiatric institution ruled by the formidable Nurse Ratched. When rebellious newcomer Randle P. McMurphy arrives on the ward, his refusal to conform disrupts the carefully controlled order and sparks unexpected change among the patients around him.

Beneath its moments of humor and humanity, the play explores deeply relevant themes of mental health, power, individuality, and institutional control — challenging audiences to look beyond first impressions and question who truly holds the authority to define “normal”.
