The Village Players kick off the new year with a poignant and contemporary play, Good People. Humorous and down-to-earth, the story starts in Southie, a low-income Boston neighborhood and travels to the home of a self-made man. When unemployed Margie Walsh faces eviction, she opts for a creative option: catch up with an old fling from the neighborhood who has become a successful doctor. Is Margie using him or just doing the best she can? Good People comedically explores the struggle of living hand-to-mouth but maintaining hope in America.
Runs January 9-24. $16/adults, $14/seniors and students. Village Players Theatre, 2740 Upton Ave. 419-472-6817. thevillageplayers.org
