Ken Kesey's provocative drama One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was staged at the NTID Theatre with a diverse cast of Deaf and hearing actors from the RIT/NTID community. Directed by Patrick Graybill—who also served as an acting consultant for NTID’s Theatre Department—this production marked his directorial debut.
Graybill, known for his professional work with the acclaimed National Theatre of the Deaf, brought a unique perspective to the play. His direction effectively demonstrated his commitment to inclusive theatre, highlighting the collaborative spirit and talent within the NTID Theatre community.
