one in two
BY DONJA R. LOVE | DIRECTED BY RAYMOND O. CALDWELL
JUNE 1 – 25, 2023
Three Black queer men sit in an ethereal waiting room inviting audiences to join them in a whimsical theatrical experiment that is equal parts harrowing, hilarious, and hopeful. Inspired by his own HIV diagnosis and the resilience of the LGBTQ+ community, award-winning playwright Donja R. Love shines an honest light on the people behind the statistics in this “defiantly life-embracing” (The New York Times) new play.
“[A play] about affirmation and communion and sounding the alarm.”
—THE NEW YORK TIMES
