DIFFERENT STAGES 2011–2012 SEASON Good People by David Lindsay-Abaire April 19 – May 11, 2013 City Theater, 3823 Airport, Suite D Directed by Karen Jambon With humor and pathos, Good People, explores the struggles, shifting loyalties, and unshakeable hopes that come with having next to nothing in America.
