CHESTNUTS is the Award Winning production wing of Theatre West dedicated to quality revivals of great plays. Launched in the winter of 2005 with a critically acclaimed production of the great Rod Serling classic "Requiem for a Heavyweight", Chestnuts quickly followed with the equally acclaimed production of "The Lion in Winter".

"Dedicated to staging revivals of great plays, Chestnuts, a new wing of Theatre West, is commendably affording new audiences a chance at seeing productions that might have been lost to history." ~ Backstage West
