RIDE THE CYCLONE

In this wildly funny and bizarre tale, six teenagers from a Canadian chamber choir meet an untimely end in a freak roller coaster accident. When they awaken in limbo, a mechanical fortune teller challenges each of them to tell the story of who they truly saw themselves to be for the chance to win an extraordinary prize: the opportunity to return to life. 

This beloved musical and viral TikTok sensation offers a humorous yet heartfelt exploration of what truly makes a life worth living.

MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET

An eccentric older gentleman and Santa Claus look-alike, Kris Kringle, is just what’s needed for Macy’s flagship store in NYC, and a far too serious six-year-old girl and her mother. He genuinely believes himself to be Santa Claus. Can those who believe in him prove it in court? 

Do you believe in him, or do you have doubts that he’s just a nice man with a white beard?
