"Whirlwind" by Cris Eli Blak

Endstation Theatre Company is excited to present the World Premiere of "Whirlwind" by Cris Eli Blak, directed by Constance Swain. July 21 to July 29 at Thoresen Theatre on Randolph College's Campus. Join us to experience local history through this compelling new play!

Audiences raved about "Whirlwind" at the 2024 Playwright's Initiative Staged Reading Festival, and now you can support this work as it progresses to full production. Endstation's commitment to showcasing new works that resonate with our community is highlighted in this captivating story about a local hero from Lynchburg.

About the Show:
Every sport is more than just a game, and every moment of change is made possible by someone who opens a door that was previously locked. This is the lesson learned by Grady, a high school tennis player with a chip on his shoulder. He finds himself traveling to Lynchburg, Virginia, to be trained and coached by Dr. Robert Walter “Whirlwind” Johnson. As a medical doctor, coach, former college athlete, activist, and respected community member, Dr. Johnson appears to have it all. Grady aspires to better himself and reach that level. However, he is unaware that Dr. Johnson is also facing his own struggle, fighting against the past while striving to create a future where tennis is an integrated sport.
