A note from director Allyn Walton

My first run in with Ride the Cyclone was an early reading of the script at a bar in Vancouver. I remember thinking how funny, clever and touching all wrapped into one wild script. I was then lucky enough to see it on the YAC stage. It's a fun show with intelligent and dynamic characters and REALLY fun (and challenging) musical numbers. I can't wait to get it on its feet and watch it come to life thanks to the help of a stunning production team. It's gonna be a fun ride!
