Good People, A Dramedy
Town and Country Players, 4158 York Rd, Buckingham

Good People A Dramedy by David Lindsay-Abaire Fridays and Saturdays – August 14, 15, 21, 22, 28 and 29 at 8:00 p.m. Sundays – August 16, 23 at 2:00 p.m. Welcome to Southie, a Boston neighborhood where a night on the town means a few rounds of bingo, and where Margie Walsh has just been let go from yet another job. Facing eviction and scrambling to catch a break, Margie thinks an old fling who has made it out of Southie might be her ticket to a fresh new start. But is this apparently self-made man secure enough to face his humble beginnings? Margie is about to risk what little she has left to find out. The scrappy characters have tremendous appeal, and the moral dilemma they grapple with holds special significance in today's harsh economic climate.
