the SHOWS
Spinning Tree presents a return engagement of the hit Off Broadway musical. In this dark comedy, the Saint Cassian High School Chamber Choir boards the Cyclone roller coaster, dying minutes later when the front axle breaks, sending them to their tragic demise. When they awake in a strange purgatory, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell the story of a life interrupted with the promise of a prize like no other—a chance for one of them to return to life.
Our 2022 production of RIDE THE CYLONE sold out! Ordering Season Tickets ensures you won't miss out.
Spinning Tree's three artists from our August Young Playwrights Lab - Emma Andrews, Alexandria Radford, and Billie Valdivia, return to see their original theatrical works get the full production treatment!
Professional direction and design - and playwright mentors Sarah Aptilon, Vicki Vodrey, and Victor Wishna - bring their authentic works-in-progress center stage.
