The Ballad of Johnny Whitmore

A world premiere play written and directed by award-winning playwright Mark Cornell with John Honeycutt, Marcia Edmundson, and Mark Jantzen and an ensemble of Heather Shore, Jeffrey Moore, Paul Kilpatrick, David Klionsky, Elijah Moore, April Clinard, Mark Cornell, Anneka Huegerich, Eva Ruff, Madison Steiner, Harris Middlesworth, Regina Gale, Matthew Cornell, and Martin Balaguer.

A recently retired exec, facing the uncertainty of his twilight years, goes on a mysterious and life-changing adventure after he gets an email that says a man with his exact name has died. Set deep in the Appalachian Mountains, The Ballad of Johnny Whitmore is an unexpected journey into the nature of fate, circumstance, and what it means to live a meaningful life.
