The One Good Thing Or “Are Ya Patrick Swazye?" Opens Sept 24
Williamston Theatre will present the Michigan Premiere of The One Good Thing Or “Are Ya Patrick Swazye?” 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 Swazye?” 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

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).
