Emporia State University Theatre presents "Ride the Cyclone" by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell. Performances are scheduled for June 21, 22, 23 and 24 at 7:30 p.m. and June 25 at 2 p.m. in the Ronald Q. Frederickson Black Box Theatre, in Roosevelt Hall. "Ride the Cyclone" is an electrifying musical experience that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Set in a small-town high school, this darkly comedic tale follows a group of misfit students who are chosen to compete in a local talent show. But when a tragic accident befalls them on a roller coaster ride, they find themselves trapped between life and death, forced to confront their deepest fears and desires. Featuring a thrilling score that blends rock, pop and musical theater, "Ride the Cyclone" is a show like no other.
