THE ONE GOOD THING Michigan Premiere to Open Williamston Theatre's 20th Season

Williamston Theatre will present the Michigan Premiere of The One Good Thing Or 'Are Ya Patrick Swayze?' by Joe Bravaco. Performances begin Thursday, September 24 and run through Sunday, October 25. Tickets are now on sale.

For brothers Jamie and Tommy, a morning conversation over eggs and tea takes an unexpected and mysterious turn: Jamie insists that the previous night's storm has changed him in a way that's hard to explain — and even harder to believe. As the two navigate this strange new reality, old tensions, unspoken truths, and long-buried memories rise to the surface. What follows is a touching, often humorous unraveling of memory, grief, and the complicated bonds we carry with those we love. As the line between reality and the supernatural begins to blur, questions emerge about what we carry, what we bury, and what, if anything, we're brave enough to leave behind. (Note: This performance contains adult language.)

The One Good Thing or 'Are Ya Patrick Swayze?' features two newcomers to the Williamston Theatre stage, Cody Robison as Jamie and Connor Allston as Tommy. John Lepard (The 39 Steps, A Very Williamston Christmas) is the Director. The production team includes Scenic Design by Jennifer Maiseloff (A Sherlock Carol, Thirst), Lighting Design by Heather Leighann Brown (Out of Orbit, Taking Shakespeare), Costume Design by Karen Kangas-Preston (A Sherlock Carol, A Very Williamston Christmas), Sound Design by Julia Garlotte (Dial 'M' for Murder, BABA), and Prop Design and Scenic Dressing by Michelle Raymond (The 39 Steps, Bad Books). The Stage Manager is Stefanie Din (A Sherlock Carol, Every Brilliant Thing).
