Join the Company of Dramatic Arts (CODA) for Ride the Cyclone, a darkly hilarious and unexpectedly heartfelt musical that asks one impossible question: what would you do if you were given a second chance at life?
After a tragic rollercoaster accident claims the lives of six teenagers from the St. Cassian High School Chamber Choir, they awaken in a mysterious limbo presided over by a mechanical fortune teller known as Karnak. One by one, the teens are invited to share their stories, dreams, and regrets - all in the hope of being the single soul granted a return to life.
With biting humour, haunting sincerity, and an eclectic pop-rock score, Ride the Cyclone is a bold exploration of identity, fate, and what it truly means to be remembered. Strange, funny, and deeply human, this cult-favourite musical will pull you in when you least expect it - and stay with you long after the ride ends.
Whether you’re discovering Ride the Cyclone for the first time or returning for another spin, this production promises a thrilling, emotional journey you won’t soon forget.

There is lift access to both the theatre and foyer, and an accessible toilet is located on the lower ground level. The theatre can accommodate patrons in wheelchairs and their guests. A hearing loop has been installed in the main auditorium which operates only with hearing aids equipped with the telephone coil (T-Switch).
