FINAL EVENT OF THE

2004 - 2005 SPOTLIGHT SERIES

Bringing the best in entertainment from the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville

and Titusville Winter Theatre

TITUSVILLE, Mar. 21 - The last event of the 2004-2005 Spotlight Series promises to deliver a memorable evening of theatre with the classic play, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and class-act performances by a talented ensemble of actors, including students from the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville, as well as talent from local and regional communities.
      The cast is comprised of UPT students Jacob Bunner in the lead role as R.P. McMurphy, William Thompson and Kevin Easley as Aides Warren and Williams, and community actors Ryan Eggleston, Paul Ferrick (Erie), Tim Snyder, Jeff Ottney, Nick Keely (Oil City), Chantel Blose, Stephanie Fullerton, Rich Lane, Debbie Carr, Katie Gafner, and Bruce Shrout.
      In the play, R. P. McMurphy is a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in a mental institution instead of in prison, but finds himself in a head-to-head clash with the fierce and dominating head nurse, Nurse Ratched.  With McMurphy's anti-authority plan, he manages to accomplish what the medical profession has been unable to do in twelve years.  He makes a presumed deaf and dumb inmate talk, and he leads other patients out of introversion.  During the ensuing revolt of the inmates, McMurphy is threated with shock treatments and the ultimate correction, a frontal lobotomy.
       This is a must-see play that does more than entertain by raising audience awareness of an existence most of us have been fortunate enough to avoid.  Don't miss this one!
