Written by Geinor Styles with music and lyrics by Amy Wadge
An award-winning musical about chasing storms and changing the world
Meet Emmie Price.
For the last 5 years her life has been a whirlwind. It’s a world torn between caring for her bipolar mum, pursuing a passion for tornados, and proving she’s got what it takes at school. But Emmie knows one day that’s all going to change. One day she’s going to become a storm chaser… in America.
When an opportunity to get a bursary to study in the USA comes up can she keep her place on the course and win the STEM competition with her invention for renewable energy?
Set in the Welsh Valleys to a toe-tapping soundtrack steeped in Americana from Grammy Award winner Amy Wadge (Thinkin’ Out Loud with Ed Sheeran, Keeping Faith) and performed live on stage by a cast of 8 talented actor musicians.

We highly recommend one teacher from your school attends this to get the most out of your trip. If you are unable to attend, we can arrange a call with Sebastian, Creative Engagement Coordinator, to talk you through the day and resources.
By attending the preview you can start to think about the themes that are important for your class and your school. We know that seeing the preview often helps guide and inform your planning and allows you to prepare children for them to fully understand the context of the play. In addition, you can gauge the need for support for any pupils with ALN such as those needing social stories and quiet spaces outside of the auditorium.
