Texas Theatre and Dance is proud to introduce the cast of Ride the Cyclone, with book, music and lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell. 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. Each musical number in Ride the Cyclone showcases a different musical genre – from glam rock to pop to rap and folk, there’s truly something for everyone!

The once-quiet halls of the Winship Drama Building are now full of conversation as friends and collaborators reunite with the start of the fall semester. As our brilliant students and faculty flock back to Winship, we’re reminiscing once more on the outstanding work they created beyond the 40 Acres over the summer break. From conferences and productions, to residencies and awards, they return this fall with stories to tell of their summer adventures.
2023 Summer Updates, Part I
The ingenuity of our students and faculty doesn’t stop when the school year ends in May. Artists and scholars from the Department of Theatre and Dance have continued shaping and showcasing their artistry throughout the summer months. We’re excited to highlight some of the ways that our students and faculty have stretched their creative muscles this summer, here in Austin and across the country.
