Ride the Cyclone:
Ride the Cyclone is a darkly comic, high-energy musical that follows the stories of six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir who meet an unexpected fate on a faulty roller coaster. As they compete for a second chance at life, they each share their unique stories in a series of musical showpieces — equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, weird, and moving.
Death by Chocolate :
Members of the newly renovated Meadowbrook Health Resort are dropping like flies, including famed chef Edith Chiles! On the eve of the grand re-opening, this is not the best advertisement. It’s up to John Stone, the manager, to find the cause and the murderer. Delightfully sarcastic and cynical, Stone finds himself teaming up with Ed Parlor, mystery writer and amateur sleuth, in a wacky race against time. The clues point to a sinister box of chocolates, and the suspects include all the outlandish characters working for the resort. Could it be Lady Riverdale, owner of the resort and a woman with dark secrets? Or Ralph Deadwood, gym instructor and all around cad? Dick Simmering, the aerobics instructor? Anne, the panic-stricken nurse? Or could it be “Sweet Pea” Meadowbrook, overweight and grieving daughter of the recently deceased founder of the resort? Death by Chocolate combines all the elements of classic murder mysteries with a scathing satire of today’s health crazes.
AUDITION INFORMATION
Meshuggah-Nuns:
The Kunkels (the poor family living behind Mount St. Helen’s School) have won the lottery and gifted the Sisters an all-expense-paid trip on the “Faiths of All Nations” Cruise. After a week at sea, the ship runs into a storm. Several people become ill, including all of the actors in the ship’s production of Fiddler on the Roof. (All except the actor playing Tevye, that is.) The captain of the ship, knowing of the Sisters’ show biz savvy, requests that the Sisters and Tevye put on a revue. The result: Meshuggah-Nuns! The Ecumenical Nunsense.
