xLq World Premiere presented by Downstage.
In this unprecedented theatrical experiment, all audience members become competitors. You will compete in a series of elimination games hosted by drag duo xLq. ARE YOU THE ONE? is a game show and a queer pop concert. No one sits on the sidelines. How far will you go to become The One? Will you throw your competition under the bus? Will you give up? What will it take to survive? Are you THE ONE?
