Cyrano De Bergerac2019-08-18T15:00:00Performance dates: 8/3, 8/10, 8/16, 8/18. Bard Talk @ 7pm 8/3 and 8/16/19. Post Show Q & A 8/10 and 8/18/19. Cyrano de Bergerac is the most dangerous soldier, the most romantic poet, and the most brilliant wit in 1640’s Paris. He also has the largest nose Paris has ever seen–a humiliation that prevents him from revealing his deep love for the beautiful Roxanne. When Christian expresses interest in her, Cyrano agrees to help the handsome-yet dim young man by giving him the words to woo her. Edmond Rostand’s 1897 epic, translated by Brian Hooker, is a romantic adventurous, and glorious comic-drama that has instilled itself as part of the classic cannon and introduced theater goers to the concept of ‘panache’. Directed by Artist Director Janice L. Blixt and featuring Artistic Associate and Festival Fight Director David Blixt.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest2019-08-22T19:30:00The setting of this dramatic comedy is an Oregon mental institution in the 1950’s. Randal McMurphy is a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in a mental institution rather than in a prison. He makes his entrance into the psychiatric hospital and tension ensues. Nurse Ratched is a former military nurse who dominates the patients maliciously with her authoritarian rule using emasculating tactics to strip the men of their freedom. McMurphy sees that Nurse Ratched’s control over the men is not helping them get better, but keeping them in a low emotional state. This is a time where shock treatment and lobotomies were acceptable forms of 'curing patients'. The characters are a direct product of the Novelists’ time working the graveyard shift as an orderly at a mental health facility. The 1975 film won 5 Oscars including Jack Nicholson for Best Actor
