Ride the Cyclone BOOK, MUSIC, AND LYRICS BY

Jacob Richmond & Brooke Maxwell

DIRECTOR’S NOTE Welcome to Ride the Cyclone. I’ve been grappling with how to properly introduce this macabre but surprisingly life-affirming successful experiment in musical theatre. How did an indie cabaret in a church basement in Victoria, British Columbia in 2008 become an international sensation and one of the most frequently performed theatrical pieces of the last decade? Well, the answer is the internet. In 2022, a clip of Emily Rohm singing “The Ballad of Jane Doe” from an upcoming Off-Broadway run appeared on TikTok and quickly gained millions of views and over 400,000 reactions. The show became a viral sensation and an instant favorite among Gen Z audiences. Since then, it’s been performed in dozens of countries and has become a particularly popular piece on college campuses across the U.S. I admit that I did not immediately connect with this musical on a first read and listen. (Spoiler: It was probably not written for my generation.) But after spending the last few months diving into its complex themes of identity, belonging, mortality, and grief, and watching the student performers, designers, and managers tackle the story’s cyclonelike twists and turns, I would argue that it is every bit as poignant as Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life or Thornton Wilder’s Our Town. The musical begins with a tragic loss, but through death, our young heroes discover what it means to truly live. Life, they realize is not a game; it’s just a ride. Thank you so much for joining us on this adventure. Please check your safety harnesses and enjoy the show. Andrew Schwartz Originally Produced by Kevin McCollum and Morris Berchard

Moxxy Forensic Investigations: Giving The Unidentified A Name Moxxy Forensic Investigations is a Texas-based nonprofit dedicated to restoring identities to unidentified human remains and perpetrators of violent crimes through investigative genetic genealogy (IGG). On March 7, 2025, the remains of an unidentified woman were recovered in Hinds County, Mississippi. Estimated to be between 26 and 46 years old, she had two distinctive tattoos, including a blue and black heart marked “2018” with “July” written above it. More than a year later, her identity remains unknown. Through The Magnolia Project, a partnership with the Mississippi State Repository for Missing and Unidentified Persons, Moxxy works to identify women whose lives were cut short and whose names remain unknown. Ride the Cyclone explores identity, memory, and what it means to be remembered. For this Jane Doe, those themes are not fiction. She was a real person with a life and a story still waiting to be reclaimed. Through science, research, and collaboration, Moxxy hopes to help restore her name.

Across 5 major degree tracks and 3 different minors, our students engage daily in the rigorous hands-on work of the theatre. They construct sets, A call shows, sew costumes, create designs, analyze texts, choreograph dances, devise new works, build props, focus lights, block scenes, conduct research, score scripts, and everything in between.

B

to make a difference AU Theatre and Dance students are some of the hardest working on campus. And every year we must start anew in finding ways to help support their remarkable efforts. Our students depend on scholarship support to keep up rigorous academic and creative schedules, and to balance the various aspects of student life. THANK YOU to all who have donated! Last year, your generous gifts helped us raise our awardable scholarship support by nearly ten thousand dollars. This year, we want to surpass that mark as we continue our Scholarship Benefit Opening Nights. All tickets sales and donations on any opening night will go directly to student scholarships. If you purchase tickets for opening nights, even if your schedule changes, your purchase will still make a meaningful impact and count toward the scholarship fund. To remain a competitive program, we must grow our awardable scholarship dollars. Currently, we award roughly sixty thousand dollars in scholarships each year. Our goal is to raise our available funds to one hundred thousand dollars within the next two years. Meeting this goal will give us the capacity to continue our recruitment of the finest academic, performance, and production students. Please consider becoming an AU Theatre and Dance donor today, or renew your previous gift if you gave in the past.
