Drama
Theatre lives in the present tense. It is always here and now. Whether the story is drawn from Ancient Greece or set in some futuristic world of tomorrow, the sense of occasion and participation make it a communal event.

Ride the Cyclone
Book, music, and lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell
May 7-16
Corbet Theatre
In this outlandish comedic musical, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, they are each invited to make their case for which one will be allowed to return to life. Through wondrously funny and touching songs, the teens reflect on what makes life well-lived and what in life is truly worth saving.
