Ride the Cyclone
Performance dates: Nov. 13, 14, 19 & 20 at 7:30 p.m. & Nov. 21 at 2 p.m.
Improvising Murder!
Up next from Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Theatre is the hauntingly funny musical Ride the Cyclone. Set in Uranium City, Saskatchewan, the play centers on six teenagers, members of the St. Cassian High School chamber choir, who all die in a tragic roller coaster accident. Their spirits, stuck in a liminal space, are offered the once–in–a–deathtime opportunity to come back to life through the powers bestowed by a mechanized fortune teller, the Amazing Karnak. With music, lyrics and book by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, you won’t want to miss this rollicking roller–coaster ride through tragedy and triumph. It is directed and choreographed by Professor Derek Lane with music direction by Matthew Fletcher.
