One of the Good Ones

by Gloria Calderón Kellet  |  Directed by GerRee Hinshaw

Previews: November 12 – 13, 2026
November 14 – December 13, 2026

Regional Premiere

Yoli has exciting news: she's in love and ready to introduce her boyfriend to her family.

What should be a joyful gathering quickly becomes more complicated as differing perspectives, assumptions, and deeply held beliefs come to the surface. As conversations grow more honest, family members are forced to confront questions about identity, culture, belonging, and how we see one another.

Filled with humor and heart, One of the Good Ones explores the challenges and possibilities of connection across differences, reminding us that understanding rarely comes from easy answers.

(The playbill will be posted at least one day before previews.)

Relaxed Performances

December 4, 2026 | 7:30pm

Ideal for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment. A judgement-free zone where many of the audience “rules” are relaxed. We may leave the house lights up at just a pinch through the performance or if you feel you need to leave the performance for any reason, you may. Most of our patrons will not notice very much difference — if at all — in their experience. No reservations are required.
