RIDE THE CYCLONE, running May 15-25, 2025.

 This wildly inventive musical, with book, music, and lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, has gained a cult following for its wit, poignancy, and high-energy score.

What happens when the ride ends too soon?

A group of six Canadian high school choir students find themselves in an unexpected limbo after a tragic roller coaster accident. As they navigate this surreal afterlife, each teen gets a chance to tell their story and plead their case for a second shot at life. The result is a touching, hilarious, and thought-provoking exploration of fate, ambition, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Featuring a talented cast of local performers: James Russell Cooper, Emily Skirvin, Mimi Housewright, Joy Beth DeWitt-Riley, Luke Skorija, Daniel Harris, Brayden Glass, Savannah Weber, Grace Lillianne, and Jupiter Zorn. Along with a dynamic creative team, Ride the Cyclone promises a bold theatrical experience that will leave audiences laughing, crying, and reflecting on the meaning of life.
