'Whirlpool' set to take the stage May 1 & 2

The following is a press release from the Ross Ragland Theater

The Ross Ragland Theater presents “Whirlpool” on Saturday, May 1st at 7:30 pm and Sunday, May 2nd at 2:00 pm. This Ragland production spotlights an old-time radio mystery theater presentation adapted from The Whistler Radio Show to the Ragland stage.

Whirlpool is a behind-the-scenes peek at classic radio drama with all the voice actors, sound effects, live commercials, songs, and a few fully belly laughs. The performers bring radio to life, live on stage, while the audience enjoys a theatrical ride full of twists and turns until the very end!

Whirlpool will be directed by long time Ragland supporter Charles “Chip” Massie, and features Rachel Hoffman, Rick Ball, Dan Neubauer, Emily Pace, Peter Lawson, Faye Crenshaw, Pam Davenport, and a few surprise guests (more to come). Dan Crenshaw will be the Musical Director and McKenna Fritz is the Assistant Director. Whirlpool has been adapted for the stage by Dan Neubauer and Peter Lawson. “We are looking forward to this one!” said Massie.

“The Ragland is lucky to have local, talented people who want to come together to put on a show,” said Interim Executive Director Samantha Burris.
