WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Nominated for 2 Tony Awards including Best Play! Welcome to Southie, a Boston neighborhood where a night on the town means a few rounds of bingo... where this month's paycheck covers last month's bills... and where Margie Walsh (Frances McDormand) 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. With his signature humorous glow, Lindsay-Abaire explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakable hopes that come with having next to nothing in America. $30.00 tickets to every performance are available via MTC's "30 Under 30" program. "30 Under 30" is MTC's program that offers a limited number of $30 tickets to people who are 30 years old or younger.

Frances McDormand delivers a Tony-worthy performance as a working-class mother desperate for a job in David Lindsay Abaire's comedy-laced drama.

Good People-Loved it!
This story set in South Boston tells a story that could be set anywhere, USA. What a joy to see a cast that includes Frances McDormand and Estelle Parsons. Any one who has ever tried to make do with a "Dollar Store" job, or just lived for that "Friday night Bingo"-This is your story, a real American story. Great sets too. I loved it!

Are Any Of Us Really "Good People"?
Good People by David Linsay-Abaire raises many important and interesting questions while at the same time being very funny. The questions raised basically have to do with human nature. Can we ever really ever leave our past behind us? Are the decisions we make for ourselves and others really the right ones? Who are really "good people" and who is really not? Class, race, and other weighty social issues are stirred into the mix as well. While all of the themes are rather thought provoking and serious...as I said there are plenty of laughs throughout. The entire cast is excellent, with special mention to Becky Ann Baker and Estelle Parsons as two old Southie broads who dont take no guff from nobody, and especially Oscar winner Frances McDormand who manages to pull off a rather complicated role, with bravura.. I highly recommend this play if you are willing to think about it after youre done smiling.
