Unabashedly in Waterville, ME

A world premiere as part of the American Association for Community Theatre's NewPlayFest 2026!

An ancient myth states that we are each connected to our One by a red thread, which stretches, bends and twists but never breaks, eventually drawing us together. Dave, a young editor at a major city newspaper, feels someone tugging at his thread. But Helen, a new beat reporter, is a non-believer. Will the thread hold, and even if it does, what if you don't like this One once you've reeled them in?

Tickets: $32–$34
Tickets are nonrefundable.
This event is eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund.
