Good People

Lyric Arts Main Street Stage
420 East Main Street Anoka

The haves and the have-nots come face-to-face in the Broadway hit Good People. Written by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole), this Tony-nominated dramatic comedy finds struggling single mother Margie Walsh laid off from her job at the dollar store and left with the reality that her South Boston neighborhood is providing the same level of opportunity it always has: none. It's the kind of place where, for many people, this month's paycheck covers last month's bills -- and bingo is a big night out on the town. Facing eviction, Maggie's forced to turn to an old high school flame for help. But he's now a successful physician living in the suburbs ... and Margie is way out of her element. With a keen eye for character and an uncanny sense of humor, this Lyric Arts Main Street Stage production of Good People explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakable hope that come with having next to nothing in America.
