Randle P. McMurphy is a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather in a prison. This, he learns, was a mistake. He clashes with the head nurse, a fierce artinet. Quickly, he takes over the yard and accomplishes what the medical profession has been unable to do for twelve years; he makes a presumed deaf and dumb Indian talk. He leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see the world series on television, and arranges a rollicking midnight party with liquor and chippies. For one offense, the head nurse has him submit to shock treatment. The party is too horrid for her and she forces him to submit to a final correction a frontal lobotomy.
 

'Baby'

Lyrics by: Richard Maltby Jr
Music by: David Shire
 
February 10, 11, 17 and 18 at 8 PM (Fridays and Saturdays) and Saturdays and Sundays February 11, 12, 18, 19 at 2 PM.

Prince William Little Theatre continues its 27th season with the musical "Baby" opening February 10 for two weekends at the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas. “Baby” is a Tony-nominated musical with a book by Sybille Pearson, based on a story developed with Susan Yankowitz, music by David Shire, and lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr. and first ran on Broadway in 1983.
 
Three couples, each newly expecting a child, have different but familiar reactions. Liz and Danny are university juniors who have just moved in together. Athletic Pam and her husband, Nick, a sports instructor, are trying to get pregnant. Arlene, already the mother of three grown daughters, is unsure of what to do while her husband Alan is thrilled with the thought of a new baby. Throughout the show, these characters experience the emotional stresses and triumphs, the desperate lows and the comic highs that accompany the anticipation and arrival of a baby.
 
Baby is directed by longtime PWLT member and co-founder Susy Moorstein with choreography by Chrissy Janoski. Featuring a full band under the musical direction of C. Milton Rodgers III, the show stars Annie Ermlick, Darren Marquardt, Joshua Wilson, Meredith Ford, Becca Harney and Jason Frye. Ensemble members include Larry Keeling, Ken Adams, Cana J. Wade, Tina Mullins, Caelyn Ryberg, Chrissy Janoski, and Dan Bellotte.
