A world premiere as part of the American Association for Community Theatre’s NewPlayFest 2026! The main setting is a newspaper office and the story unfolds the various relationships between the people working there. The frame of the play explores the seeming coincidences and bonds that can connect strangers together. Two of the main characters share a connection that is slowly revealed.

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?

AUDITION LOCATION: Candidates should enter through the Paul J. Schupf Art Center (93 Main Street, Waterville) and proceed to the second floor.

SHOW DATES: August 28, 29, September 4, 5 at 7:30pm + August 30, September 6 at 2pm
