CUCKOO'S NEST INTELLIGENT, SENSITIVE, AND INSIGHTFUL AT PORTHOUSE (The Times 
Newspapers Headline)


"ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is a powerful play, given an intelligent, 
sensitive, and insightful production at Porthouse Theatre.  It's a winner!"  
Roy Berko - The Times Newspapers

"Director Sue Ott Rowlands correctly emphasizes the comedy and is well served 
in the effort by Marty Lodge....Wryly deadpanned, the actor downplays the 
character's conniving, nasty egotism to feature his smartass charm, which 
Lodge embodies with considerable facility."  James Damico - Cleveland Free 
Times

"The "chronics," played by Daniel Benko, Adam Day Howard and Michael Sherman, 
do fine acting jobs with their twitching, repetitive movements, clinging to 
walls or huddling in corners.  None of them says a word."  Kerry Clawson - The 
Beacon Journal

"From the play's first moments, it is clear that director Sue Ott Rowlands has 
crafted a smooth theatrical machine." "Rarely does a show have such a strong 
supporting cast as this..." Jacqueline Gerber - The Plain Dealer

"The staff at Porthouse Theatre has brought a stunning production of ONE FLEW 
OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST its summer series.  The theme that ties this summer's 
Porthouse productions together is "Magic," and this production is definitely 
that."  David Ritchey - West Side Leader
