Cuban-Venezuelan-American playwright Yara Travieso’s new musical El Ciclón, with music from acclaimed composer, librettist and TDPS faculty member Sam Crawford, is a unique and innovative musical production combining cinema with live theater. It tells the story of a woman stranded with her car in the swampy south during a harsh storm. El Ciclón is a wild, neo-feminist saga within a 1950s B-movie psychological thriller, featuring singing, dancing and just enough alligators to keep things interesting.
