If Bill Clinton really was, as Toni Morrison put it, America's first black president, then perhaps it's about time we crowned David Lindsay-Abaire as America's leading female playwright.  Since first gaining major attention in 1999 with Fuddy Meers, and including major productions such as Kimberly Akimbo, Wonder of the World and the Pulitzer-winning Rabbit Hole, Lindsay-Abaire (whose surname is a hyphenated combination of his and his wife's last names) has been continually filling stages with unique and interesting women as his leading characters.

Today Lynne Meadow (Artistic Director) and Barry Grove (Executive Producer) affirmed Manhattan Theatre Club's ongoing commitment to making affordable tickets available to young theatergoers by offering a limited number of $30 tickets to every performance of the hit play GOOD PEOPLE via MTC's '30 Under 30' program.

GOOD PEOPLE playwright David Lindsay-Abaire and Tate Donovan and Estelle Parsons, who are currently appearing in the critically acclaimed play, will appear on WNYC Radio's "The Leonard Lopate Show" tomorrow, Thursday, March 10 from 12:00pm - 12:40pm
