You could say that Sarah Rasmussen, McCarter Theatre's new Artistic Director has been training for this role since the 7th grade. From auditioning kids in the backyard of her South Dakota home to presenting her artistry on major stages across the country, Sarah has maintained her sense of playfulness with the art form. Now her McCarter directorial debut, "Ride the Cyclone", combines that whimsy with music, stunning design, and a perfect story for this moment in time. The show began preview performances on April 30th.
Ride The Cyclone: The Musical plays at McCarter Theatre Center (99 University Place in Princeton, New Jersey) from April 30 through May 29th. For more information or to purchase tickets, click here.
