Established in 1910, the Loras Players are the oldest, continuously-operating theatre troupe west of the Mississippi! Currently in its 114th season, students of all majors get hands-on, practical experience in this multi-disciplinary extracurricular program. While exploring the intellectual pursuits of aesthetics, narrative, communication, visual arts and performance, students develop the skills necessary to captivate and inspire an audience on the frontier of storytelling and prepare to undertake an increasingly non-routine future with social intelligence, complex critical thinking and creative problem solving.

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. This popular musical is a funny, moving look at what makes a life well-lived!
