Photo Flash: First Look at GOOD PEOPLE at Olathe Civic Theatre

Olathe Civic Theatre Association (OCTA) continues its 2015-16 season with GOOD PEOPLE by David Lindsay-Abaire. The show runs tonight, Nov. 6, through Nov. 22. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

GOOD PEOPLE follows Margie, a tough middle-aged woman from the rough Southie neighborhood in Boston, who loses her job and is one Bingo game away from homelessness. Facing eviction and scrambling to catch a break, Margie thinks an old fling, who has made it out of Southie, might be her ticket to a fresh new start. Hoping this self-made man is secure enough to face his humble beginnings, Margie sets out to see just how far she can go. With his signature humorous glow, David Lindsay-Abaire (author of Rabbit Hole) explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakeable hopes that come with insurmountable class divide and having next to nothing in America.

Veteran OCTA director David Martin leads the production of GOOD PEOPLE. Martin has directed five prior shows at OCTA, includingArsenic and Old Lace, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, 12 Angry Men, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Fantasticks.

Starring in the GOOD PEOPLE cast are (from left in photo) Joyce Halford, Michael Juncker, Peggy Mall, Meredith Wolfe, Greg Butell, and Dee Dee Diemer.

Burt (set design), Chuck Cline (lighting design), Heather Stokes (costume design) and Valerie Martin (properties design).
