Pioneer Trail. *Fred Sternfeld* makes his ACT directorial debut with *David Lindsay-Abaire’s* *GOOD PEOPLE*, which takes a provocative, sometimes humorous, but never preachy look at the “haves” and “have-nots” in America. Is it luck, hard work or a combination of the two that determine destiny? *FEATURING* *Paula Kline-Messner* as Margie *Rob Albrecht* as Mike *Craig Joseph* as Stevie *Kristi Little* as Kate *Jenny Barrett* as Jean *Mary Jane Nottage *as Dottie *TICKETS NOW ON SALE $16 adults, $11 age 18 and under* *BUY ONLINE ANYTIME www.auroracommunitytheatre.com <http://www.auroracommunitytheatre.com/>* or call 330.562.1818 *GOOD PEOPLE* * Opening Night Ticket *includes *complimentary after-show gala opportunity to meet cast and crew* *GOOD PEOPLE* tells the story of Margie Walsh and Mikey Dillon who grew up good friends in blue-collar South Boston. They even had a brief summer romance, but after high school, Mike caught every break. He went to college, became a doctor, moved to the suburbs and rose rapidly on the financial ladder. At the same time, Margie’s no-luck life and single motherhood kept her in Southie juggling minimum-wage jobs, always balancing on a slippery slope “only a paycheck away from desperate straits.” When Margie (pronounced with a hard “g”) and Mike meet again two decades later, the stark contrast of their lives and a long-buried secret force them each to take an honest look at life.
