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 productions of The Lion in Winter, Dancing at Lughnasa, Waiting in the Wings, and Gaslight.

"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
