Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized Ensemble Theatre of Cincinnati’s “Good People” as a recommended production.
This regional premiere of a work by Pulitzer Prize winning writer David Lindsay-Abaire explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakeable hopes that come with having next to nothing in America. Laid off from her job at the dollar store in South Boston, Margie Walsh goes to seek out the one who got away—both from “Southie” and from her. Instead, she finds herself in the ‘burbs and out of her element, facing the question: is opportunity granted or earned?
Panelists praised the production as “relevant to our time,” “moving,” and “incisive.” One commented, “All of the elements in this production – technical, acting, staging – worked perfectly.”
“Good People” continues through September 23rd. Tickets can be purchased at www.ensemblecincinnati.org.
Final LCT awards will be determined at the end of the season and announced at the LCT gala in the spring.
The League of Cincinnati Theatres was founded in 1999 to strengthen, nurture and promote Cincinnati’s theatre community. LCT provides its member companies and individual members with education, resources and services to enhance the quality and exposure of the theatre community in Cincinnati and increase community awareness, attendance and involvement.
