Next on Stage: Ride the Cyclone

Step right up for Theatre NDSU’s production of Ride the Cyclone this October! In this dark musical comedy by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, a mechanical fortune teller holds the lives of six teens in his hands after a freak roller coaster accident. Only one person gets to come back to life. Who deserves it most?

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15 – 17 and 22 – 24 in Askanase Auditorium. Reserve your tickets at ndsu.showare.com or 701-231-7969! NDSU students get in FREE!

Please note: This production contains some mature humor and content – including coarse language, sexual references, casual drug use, fantasy violence, and explorations of death – that is best suited for audiences age 13 and up.
