FFL_Good People logoGOOD PEOPLE
Fairfield Footlighters

Fairfield Community Arts Center

Directed by Darren Lee
Produced by Kevin Noll

Cast: Alicia Friedman as Margaret, Cameron Johnson as Steve, Gail Rudolph as Dottie, Elizabeth Hickerson as Jean, Neil Goeppinger as Mike & Rachel Marion as Kate

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 has just been let go from yet another job. Facing eviction and scrambling to catch a break, Margie thinks an old fling who’s 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 unshakeable hopes that come with having next to nothing in America.

Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
Nov. 18-19
Music Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Dalia Stasevska, conductor
Esther Yoo, violin

The talents of CSO musicians are on full display in Bartók’s Concerto, the epitome of an orchestra showpiece. Similarly, it’s “easy to see what all the fuss is about” (The Guardian) when guest soloist Esther Yoo performs Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. Principal Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra Dalia Stasevska leads the program, beginning with inventive music that composer Missy Mazzoli says is “in the shape of a solar system.”

PIP_The Lion promoTHE LION
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Nov. 12-Dec. 4
Warsaw Federal Incline Theatre [East Price Hill]

Directed by Sean Daniels and Alex Stenhouse

His story is about courage — his music is about finding it. Straight from the London stage for an exclusive Playhouse engagement, The Lion features a singer-songwriter who shares the turbulent story of his family and his own brush with mortality. Chapters unfold through heartrending monologues and original songs, each one just as emotionally stirring as the last. Six guitars accompany the musician as he explores love, loss and the redemptive power of music. Hailed by critics as a “wondrous” and “spellbinding” experience, The Lion redefines the genre of musical theatre. THE LION is suitable for ages 12 and up. This heartrending yet uplifting story about one man’s personal journey through loss, illness and relationship challenges includes mature themes and some amazing music. We recommend you bring tissues.
