Hot Shows, Cool Nights at Theatreworks

Come “Ride the Cyclone” with us!

In this hilarious and outlandish story by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, 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. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!

ACT OUT was created in 2024 by Lori Larson and Kevin McNulty primarily to serve as a bridge for our younger TW Kids performing in Jr. or School versions to working in a Full Main Stage Production in a community theatre environment. We started with smaller cast shows like Godspell and this year’s Ride the Cyclone unsure of how popular it would be with the Young Adults. Moving forward we will be choosing musicals with larger casts and hopefully add a non-musical production. TheatreWorks is a safe space for young people to learn and express themselves artistically. Some older students are involved in the Set and Lighting. Others are designing and making their own costumes or creating prosthetic makeup pieces for the cast. We look forward to many more years with ACT OUT.
