Auditions will be Sept. 9-Sept. 10 for Vanguard Theatre’s production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which comes to Martin in October.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is about a psychiatric hospital in Oregon. The play, just like the book, is narrated by a patient, Ken Kesey. The patients have long been ensconced in their daily routines, but a new patient’ arrival brings change to the rhythm and comfortable pattern of their world. The head nurse will not tolerate such behavior and she makes sure everyone knows it, including the new patient.
Who doesn’t like classic works of famous books or Theatre? Who doesn’t like being up on stage with the bright lights shining on you? You do, right? If so, you could be one of the 13 males or 4 females needed.
Vanguard Theatre’s production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, directed by Ken Zimmerman, will take place in the Little Theatre, room 167 of the Fine Arts building. Auditions are at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9 and Wednesday, Sept. 10, in the Little Theatre. Rehearsals will begin Monday, Sep. 15. Performances will be Oct. 30, 31, Nov 1, 2 and Nov. 5, 6, 7 and 8.
If you would like to read the play before auditioning, contact Zimmerman at kimmerman@utm.edu for a script. You will be required to write down your name and telephone number in order to check out a script. You may check out a script for 24 hours.
Sound good? Alright, see you at the show and break a leg.
