Ride the Cyclone (free parking)At 8:17 p.m., the St. Cassian High School Chamber Choir

boards the Cyclone roller coaster. At 8:19, the front axle breaks, sending them to their tragic demise. Trapped in fantastical carnival-like pur-gatory, the recently deceased teens discover a mechanical

fortune teller, who invites them to tell their stories of life inter-rupted, with the promise of a prize like no other.

Making its West Coast premiere, Ride the Cyclone is “a delightfully weird and just plain delightful show,” according to The New York Times. Part comedy, part tragedy, and completely unexpected, this wonderfully weird story is at every turn satirical, macabre, creepy, campy, and hilarious.
