Auditions for the O’FallonTheatreWorks production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest will start at 1 p.m. on Sunday, August 5, at the O’Fallon Municipal Centre (City Hall), 100 North Main Street in O’Fallon.

O’FallonTheatreWorks is looking to cast a diverse group of 12 men and women ages 20 and up for this hard-hitting, exciting drama by Dale Wasserman. Production dates for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest are November 2-4 and 9-11, 2018.

“Long before Jack Nicholson pulled on his boots and stepped in front of the cameras to star in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, audiences fell in love with the play,” said director Carole Lanham. “Based on Ken Kesey’s counter-culture novel from the 1960s, the play tells the story of a group of mental patients living in a psych ward and the newcomer who teaches them to stand up for their own humanity. The play won the 2001 Tony® Award for an Outstanding Revival of a Play and the Outer Critics Circle Award for an Outstanding Revival of a Play.”
