Arkansas State University's Department of Theatre will continue the 2024-2025 season with a production of "Ride the Cyclone," a musical with book, music and lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell.

Performances in the Fowler Center's Drama Theatre are set for 6:19pm on Friday, November 15; 7:30pm on Saturday, November 16, 22, and 23; and a 2:30pm matinee performance on Sunday November 17 and 24.

"Ride the Cyclone" is a musical that takes the audience on an emotional journey with a small Canadian town's high school chamber choir. Tragically perishing in a roller coaster accident, their souls are given a chance to compete for a final prize in a bizarre contest hosted by a mysterious carnival fortune teller. As each member presents their case through song and dance, the musical explores themes of identity, ambition, and the meaning of life, blending dark humor with poignant moments to create a unique and unforgettable theatrical experience.
