Don't miss ALT's production of the classic, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, August 14-24 at the ALT Adventure Space.
After being convicted of a petty crime, the charming and rebellious Randle P. McMurphy schemes to serve his short sentence in a mental institution rather than in prison. But what he thought would be an easy ride turns into a harrowing battle of control and identity. He quickly comes face to face with the institution’s unyielding head nurse—Nurse Ratched—whose quiet tyranny rules the ward with an iron grip.
McMurphy’s defiance ignites a spark among the other patients, and soon, he’s leading a revolt for something as simple—and human—as watching the World Series on television. But rebellion comes at a cost, and McMurphy’s boldness may prove more dangerous than he ever imagined.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest has left an indelible mark on literature, theatre and film. Boisterous, raw and ultimately devastating, it plunges us into a world where conformity equals survival—and standing out can be dangerous. This unforgettable stage adaptation of Ken Kesey’s classic novel explores the beauty and the risk of being an original. Packed with unforgettable characters and emotional intensity, this is one show you don’t want to miss. Make your plans now to catch this must-see theatrical experience!
