“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” the stunning tale of rebellion against the establishment, will take the stage Nov. 4, 5, 10, 11, 12 as the Fall production at Anoka-Ramsey Community College (ARCC).

This classic drama portrays the demoralized patients of a mental institution brutally kept in line by Nurse Ratched. Into this terrifying world comes McMurphy, a brawling gambling man, who wages total war on behalf of his fellow inmates. Playwright Dale Wasserman’s adaptation of Ken Kesey’s novel is funny, shocking and profoundly moving.

Nurse Ratched, played by ARCC student Rebecca Betterman, and Randle P. McMurphy, played by ARCC student Mark Palmer, butt heads in a scene from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," the Fall production at Anoka-Ramsey Community College Coon Rapids Campus Nov. 4, 5, 10, 11, 12.

The ARCC production is directed by ARCC theatre faculty member Scott Ford, with set and lighting design by ARCC designer Tom Valach. All performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center on the Coon Rapids Campus. The Nov. 10 show will be an interpreted performance for the hearing impaired.

Tickets are $8, available at the door, and in advance at the College Bookstore or by calling 763-422-3406.
