Event Name: Ride the Cyclone Event State: Confirmed Organization: Philip Lynch Theatre Event Locator: 2024-AASGTX Part comedy, part tragedy—and wholly unexpected—in this hilarious, outlandish, and wildly imaginative story, it delivers surprises at every turn. 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 their story of a life interrupted—offering a prize like no other — the chance to come to terms with their fates & possibly the chance to return to life. At once quirky and smart, edgy and beautiful, Ride the Cyclone ultimately reveals the resilience of the human spirit in spite of senseless tragedy. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!  To purchase tickets call 815-836-5500 or go to www.lewisu.edu/PLTtix
