2025 Season Announcement

Endstation Theatre Company returns to its roots with new works, site-specific productions, and community storytelling…

June 14-21

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 and we need your help! The Central Virginia Fringe Festival will be a week-long community celebration centered around theatrical works and performances. Students, community members, and other theatre organizations are welcome to apply with their productions or original works. It will culminate in the world premiere opening of Whirlwind, the smash hit Endstation original from last season's Playwright's Initiative Reading Festival. There are many reasons why artists and performers would want to take part. Many want exposure, while others want to test new material in front of a live audience - still others lack space and want to take advantage of Randolph College’s abundance of venues. Whatever the reason, Endstation Theatre Company wants to celebrate Central Virginia's incredible arts community through performance and storytelling. We want to build an event that enriches artists, connects industry professionals, and builds a future destination for the creation of art. Celebrate with us June 14-21, 2025.

Location: Various, Randolph College Campus

World Premiere of Whirlwind by Cris Eli Blak

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 ETC Playwright's Initiative World Premiere!

Location: Thoresen Theatre, Randolph College

July 2-20

William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing

Don Pedro’s army has just returned home victorious after the war. Love is in the air, even as two of Shakespeare’s most tumultuous couples—Benedick and Beatrice, and Claudio and Hero—volley hilarious quips and damning accusations back and forth. Will the truth win in this mischievous game of love? Find out in this dazzling, music-filled outdoor production this summer with Endstation back at the Point of Honor.

Location: Point of Honor, 112 Cabell St.

Endstation’s Jukebox Concert Series!

Come see Broadway singer Hope Harris lead off our Jukebox Concert Series with a tribute to Linda Ronstadt…

“From as early as I can remember I used to sit in the den of my family home and sing along with the radio… for hours. I will never forget the day that When Will I Be Loved came blasting out of the radio. I thought THAT is how I want to sing! Linda Ronstadt became my very first voice teacher. I listened, I practiced, I imitated…but as we all know there is only one Linda Ronstadt!

My tribute has been a lifetime in the making and includes songs spanning her entire career from her early days with the Stone Poneys to her return to her Mexican roots in Canicones de Mi Padre. Country, rock, American standards, Gilbert and Sullivan, 80’s pop, traditional Mexican music, I sing many of the songs everyone loves as well as a few lesser known gems. Join me and my killer band in our celebration of Linda Ronstadt!” - Hope Harris
