The Hill College Players will present the musical "Ride the Cyclone" on March 11–13, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at the Hill College Performing Arts Center in Hillsboro, TX. The show, which follows six choir members in limbo, features a mix of musical styles and dark comedy, promising to be an engaging live performance

This production is part of the Hill College Performing Arts season. The show, written by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell, focuses on the stories of six teenagers after a fatal roller coaster accident.

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. Through a wondrously funny and touching series of songs, the teen contestants argue that they should be the ones to be saved. Told with moving insights into adolescence as well as dark comedic style benefiting the outrageousness of its premise, Ride The Cyclone is a memorable and original musical. What makes a life well-lived? Who deserves to have a second chance? Which are the memories that we will treasure? All these questions and more are answered in Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell’s stunning work.
