RIDE THE CYCLONE Extends at New Conservatory Theatre Center

Due to popular demand, New Conservatory Theatre Center has announced extended performance dates for the 2024-25 Season opener: Jacob Richmond & Brooke Maxwell’s award-winning musical turned TikTok sensation, Ride the Cyclone. Now running through October 27th, with additional performances Wednesday, October 23 - Sunday, October 27. Bay Area theatregoers will have four additional performances of Ride the Cyclone for a ride into the weird and wondrous. 
 

Reaching for the skies takes on a whole new meaning when six members of a Canadian chamber choir take a fateful rollercoaster ride to the great beyond. 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. Both madly hilarious and surprisingly introspective, this award-winning musical poses the question of what makes a life well-lived, or in some cases, worth saving.

Ride the Cyclone pays now through October 27, 2024. NCTC is currently offering a variety of 24-25 Season subscriptions as well as single ticket sales. Tickets are $35.50-$72.50 (costs include fees) and are available at nctcsf.org, by emailing boxoffice@nctcsf.org, or by calling (415) 861-8972.
