The classic Ken Kesey tale follows the the antics of rebellious Randle Patrick McMurphy, who fakes insanity in order to serve a criminal sentence in a mental hospital rather than in prison. McMurphy’s charisma empowers the ward patients, but the stakes grow dangerous when McMurphy crosses tyrannical Nurse Ratched.
Emily Miller, a veteran of Back Alley productions, is making her directing debut with this show. Jared Nipper, cast as McMurphy, is making his debut in a Back Alley production.
Rebecca Lapp, a veteran of Back Alley shows, is cast as steely Nurse Ratched.
