The AMPA Theater Department is proud to present a unique adaptation of the American Classic, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. This award-winning play is based on the book, by Ken Kesey, which was later created into an Academy Award-winning movie starring, Jack Nicholson. The play takes place in a mental hospital when a charming rogue commits herself in order to avoid a longer prison sentence. Along the way, she clashes with the head nurse, stages a revolt, and touches all of the patients lives with a positive message. The play is recommended for mature audiences over 13.
