Promo Video: Director Jenny Lavery Speaks about RIDE THE CYCLONE at University of Texas at Austin, October 25 - November 5, 2023

(Video from Theatre & Dance at University of Texas at Austin)

 

In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other — the chance to return to life.A funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!

Directed by Jenny Lavery

"Both eerie and funny, as well as subversive, serious, touching, and great." - Vulture
