The Night Witches of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment flew in planes made of canvas and wood, and they dropped bombs on Germans every 15 minutes through the night to keep their enemy from sleeping. They were constantly being shuffled and moved to perform new duties; mechanics became navigators, navigators became pilots, and pilots became commanders. Nina and Vera have just finished their training as navigators and are moments away from their first combat mission. As they fight their nerves, the women around them use different means of bolstering their spirits, some more successfully than others. But when the time comes, to the sky they must go. Tonight, however, is different than any night they’ve faced before—their enemy has employed a new tactic taking them completely by surprise. Using movement, song and lyrically styled dialogue, we follow these brave women through one fateful evening during the war.

Invited Production: Ride the Cyclone
Wednesday January 22, 2025 7:00pm - 8:30pm CST
Music, lyrics and book by Jacob Richmond & Brooke Maxwell
Directed by Regan Bohanan

Ride the Cyclone is a quirky, edgy musical where six teen chamber choir members want another chance at life after a tragic accident. In limbo, a mechanical fortune teller offers them a chance to return to life—the kids explore the inner passions they never revealed while alive through catchy tunes and dark humor. This cult hit blends comedy, tragedy, and enchantment, leaving you laughing, reflecting, and feeling great about life.

Content Disclosure: Ride the Cyclone uses atmospheric haze and flashing lights in the audience. Ride the Cyclone may not be appropriate for all audiences and utilizes strong language, innuendo, as well as references to self harm.
