The next production at the University of Memphis Department of Theatre & Dance is Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell's irreverent musical "Ride the Cyclone."

Darel Snodgrass talks with John J. Yorke, an associate professor of teaching and graduate coordinator/performance faculty at the University of Memphis (UofM), who is directing the show about six high school students who die in a tragic roller coaster accident and what comes next for them.

This musical will be performed at 7:30 p.m. from Thursday, November 21, through Saturday, November 23. Additionally, a 3:00 p.m. matinee will occur on Saturday, November 23, and Sunday, November 24.

Ride the Cyclone - Theatre & Dance - The University of Memphis

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
