WipeOut

Connor got the lead role, Riptide, in Longmont Theater Company's production of "Wipeout"
Wax up your surfboards, get out your beach blankets and catch the wave of
this swell surf musical! It’s just another sunny day at Avalon Beach until Mom
and Pop announce they’re selling their beloved surf shop and teen hangout. The
snobbish developers from the nearby ritzy Cove want Avalon’s stretch of sand…
for a parking lot! But Mom and Pop’s daughter Midge and all the loyal Avalon
kids are determined—they’re not going to let that happen! Riptide, the local
kahuna, enters the big surf contest to vie for the grand prize money that will
keep The Shack’s doors open, but the crowd from the Cove will do anything to put
the kibosh on Rip winning the prize money, including sabotage! When Riptide
breaks his leg in a surfing accident (thanks to the conniving developer’s son
Reef), it’s up to Midge to step onto her Billabong and go up against the big
boys. Pop, a former surfing champion himself, comes through to help his little
surfer girl in a sweet surfing cram session that gets all the kids amped for the
big event! This surf musical—complete with hysterical onstage surfing that’s
easy to stage—takes us back to a simpler time when life was keen, the music was
cool and the world was about to change. Gnarly, dudes! -Pioneer Drama Services
