Good People at Asolo Repertory Theatre

Welcome to Southie, a Boston neighborhood where this month’s paycheck barely covers last month’s bills, bingo is a night on the town, and sharp-tongued single-mom Margie Walsh has just been let go from yet another job. Faced with the reality that her neighborhood is providing her with the same opportunities it always has — none — Margie concocts a plan to solve all her financial problems — and it might just be crazy enough to work. This humor-filled, Tony-nominated hit from Pulitzer Prize-winner David Lindsay-Abaire takes a look at the “haves” and the “have-nots” as it questions the American dream and how to achieve it — hard work, skill, or luck?
