By Mary Baker, Marquette High School The theme of the 1960s was rebelling against the man—taking a stand, realizing one’s inner worth, and not letting anyone get you down. In Maplewood Richmond Heights’ production of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," the spirit of the 1960s permeates an Oregonian mental hospital, thanks to the indomitable spirit of Randle McMurphy. Adapted from the classic novel by Ken Kesey, Dan Wasserman’s play follows Randle McMurphy, a convicted felon who fakes a mental illness so he can serve his time in a mental hospital rather than prison.

By Laurel Button of Mary Institute St. Louis Country Day School ANYTIME, ANYWHERE Open on a softly lit vignette of two actors: wood bars crisscrossing behind them, bridge just past a sheer frame. Everything about the opening of the show sets the theme; this play, THE LARAMIE PROJECT – performed by students and teachers at Maplewood Richmond Heights High School, is honest, reflective, and gravely serious. THE LARAMIE PROJECT is based on the real life murder of homosexual college student, Matthew Shepard, by two of his peers in the small town of Laramie, Wyoming.
