Ride the Cyclone Continues This Weekend at Eastlight Theatre |
A regional premiere, this hilarious story is about six teenagers
from a Canadian chamber choir whose lives 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.
Please note: viewer discretion is advised. |
