From The Theatre School "Six teenagers from the Saint Cassian Chamber Choir find themselves in limbo after a tragic roller coaster accident. They are guided by the dilapidated fortune-telling machine, The Amazing Karnak, who gives them a chance to sing for a second chance at life. Ride The Cyclone blends humor, heart, and haunting melodies in this quirky and poignant musical that begs the question: what makes a life meaningful?​"
