Ride the Cyclone is directed by Lori Larson of New Milford and the musical director is Kevin McNulty of Brookfield. This show is produced by Gale Alexander of New Milford.
In this hilarious and outlandish story, the lives of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir are cut short in a freak accident aboard a roller coaster. When they awake in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller invites each to tell a story to win a prize like no other — the chance to return to life.
The cast features New Milford residents Mia Marchena as Constance, Richard Gregory as Noel, Noah Milot as Karnak, Jack Maloney as Jane Doe, Joshua Violette as Ricky, Addison Hernandez as Ocean, and Michael Oppermann as Mischa and Sophia Oppermann as Ensemble from Danbury, CT.
ACT OUT is a new program that was created in 2024 by Lori Larson and Kevin McNulty primarily to serve as a bridge for our younger TW Kids performing in Jr. or School versions to working in a Full Mainstage Production in a community theatre environment. TheatreWorks is a safe space for young people to learn and express themselves artistically. Non-performing students also participate in the development of set and lighting, in addition designing and making their own costumes or creating prosthetic makeup pieces for the cast. We look forward to many more years with ACT OUT.
