Inaugural Central Virginia Fringe Festival
Come experience history as Endstation Theatre Company at Randolph College hosts the first Central Virginia Fringe Festival. Any art lover living around Lynchburg knows how lucky we are. The depth of talented artists is incredible. The scope of organizations and supporters is diverse and active. We here at Endstation Theatre Company want to celebrate our amazing community! The Central Virginia Fringe Festival has been a week-long community celebration centered around theatrical works and performances, June 14-21. 16 groups of student, community, and professionals have been performing 17 productions over 7 days! It will culminate in the world premiere opening of Whirlwind, the smash hit Endstation original from last season's Playwright's Initiative Reading Festival. Purchase tickets HERE.
Every sport is more than a game, and every moment of change is made possible by someone opening a door that was previously locked. This is the lesson learned by Grady, a high school tennis player with a chip on his shoulder who finds himself traveling to Lynchburg, Virginia, to be trained and coached by Dr. Robert Walter 'Whirlwind' Johnson. A medical doctor, coach, former college athlete, activist, respected community member - Dr. Johnson seems to have it all, and Grady wants to better himself to get to that level. Little does he know Dr. Johnson is trying to knock down a wall of his own, both in terms of fighting against the past and trying to forge into a future of tennis being an integrated sport.
Come experience local history in this Endstation Playwright's Initiative World Premiere on Saturday, June 21 and running through June 29.
