A note from the director:
Welcome to Ride The Cyclone! Our cast and crew are so excited to be sharing this hilarious, beautifully written musical with you. This show has been a passion project of mine that has been in the works for 2 years now, and seeing it come together over the past 3 months of rehearsals has been such a joy. This cast is truly the cream of the crop, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help bring this crazy idea to life. Ride The Cyclone is such a special show that truly hasn’t gotten the recognition it deserves, and it has been my honor to put up the Connecticut premier of this spectacular musical! This show manages to confront many serious topics in a lighthearted way that is accompanied by a catchy tune, so I really hope that through this production, you’re able to see just how much this show means to all of us. Thank you to the cast and crew for putting their talent in my hands to puppet around, I truly cannot thank you enough for all you put up with these past couple of months.

A note from the stage manager:
Whaaaaaaaat??? The stage manager gets a note??? That's right! Anyways, I am beyond excited for you to witness the sheer passion that these actors have. I have been able to witness this production from the start of rehearsals, up until now and I am beyond proud of everyone involved. I am also honored to have been apart of this production in a way I have never been before. Since our lovely director is also in the cast, I got to take on a role of an assistant director and help out when needed. This production means so much to all of us, as we've become a family through it. I am eternally grateful for you, as the audience, too! Without you, this show wouldn't be possible. Being able to see live theatre again is something that we are still getting used to, and it is an honor to have you here after a rough few years. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy your ride on The Cyclone.
