Theatre Westminster will present "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in four performances Thursday-Sunday, Feb. 21-24, in Beeghly Theater.

Curtain time Thursday-Saturday is 7:30 p.m.; Sunday's matinee is at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are available by calling the Box Office (724-946-7241) beginning Feb. 14. Prices for non-Westminster College adults are $6 and for non-Westminster students are $5.

Dale Wasserman's play is based on the novel by Ken Kesey, and centers on McMurphy, who is sent to an asylum to avoid prison. His independent spirit unites the other patients against the autocratic Nurse Ratched.

Theatre Westminster's production is under the direction of Eileen Hendrickson, Westminster College visiting instructor of theatre. Michael Slane, Westminster instructor of theatre, is scenic and technical director. Dan Konnen, Westminster stage manager, is lighting designer.

Students in two Westminster theatre courses are responsible for set construction, and sisters from Zeta Tau Alpha will serve as ushers.

Contact Hendrickson at (724) 946-7237 or e-mail hendriee@westminster.edu for additional information.
