In a dilapidated warehouse at an abandoned amusement park, an aging mechanical fortune-teller called The Amazing Karnak comes to life, and brings with him a ghostly choir of five deceased high-schoolers – all members of the Saint Cassian Chamber Choir, who were tragically killed on the park’s Cyclone roller coaster. Now, Karnak has the power to return one of these youths to life – but they must all decide among themselves who is the most worthy of a second chance to “ride the cyclone” that is life.

Trivia is back! In honor of our host, questions will all be about children’s literature and geography. Come in stripes (an homage to children’s book traveler Where’s Waldo) for a chance to win an extra prize. Miss Karyn is the children’s programming assistant at the Springville library for which she leads weekly story times, and a pre-k assistant teacher. She enjoys rock star status to those under 5, and fully accepts that a quick trip to Walmart might last three hours depending on how many current or former students and their families she runs into. She is honored that so many families treasure story time and being able to witness children begin their reading adventures is truly magical.

Free | No Registration Required

Final Performances: August 14th, 7pm | August 15th, 4pm
