RIDE THE CYCLONE
In a dilapidated warehouse at an abandoned amusement park, an aging mechanical fortune-teller –The Amazing Karnak – comes to life, bringing with him a ghostly choir of five deceased high-schoolers. The teens were all members of the Saint Cassian Chamber Choir, tragically killed on the park’s infamous roller coaster: The Cyclone. Now, Karnak has the power to return one of these youths to life, but they must decide among themselves who is most worthy of a second chance to “ride the cyclone." Full of zany, vaudeville-style numbers, Ride the Cyclone is a gritty, unsettling, thrilling comedy!
