By Joe Bravaco

Sept. 24 - Oct. 25, 2026

A Michigan Premiere

Some mornings begin like any other, and some turn your world upside down. THE ONE GOOD THING OR “ARE YA PATRICK SWAYZE?” kicks off Williamston Theatre’s 20th season with a poignant and darkly funny story set in a small, coastal Irish town.

For brothers Jamie and Tommy, a morning conversation over eggs and tea takes an unexpectedand mysterious turn: Jamie insists that the previous night’s storm has changed him in a way that’shard 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.

With warmth, wit, and emotional depth, this thoughtful, poignant dark comedy brings a deeply human story to life just feet from your seat. (Note: This performance contains adult language.)
