New Stage Players reads David Lindsay-Abaire's Pulitzer Prize winning "Good People" at Grange Hall Cultural Center Sunday, June 14 @ 4pm. Get there early to be cast (3:30pm) . Reading starts at 4pm. All welcome. Free and open to the public.

This humorous and moving story explores themes of class disparity, the impact of choices, and the struggle for dignity in the face of adversity through revealing the complexities of friendship, loyalty, and the judgments that come with social status.
Why does opportunity knock for some, while others can't catch a break? And where's the line between kindness and selfishness? Those questions loom large in this thought-provoking play about two teenage sweethearts who reconnect after 30 years. Their common humble roots, and now radically different lives, spark a fascinating, funny, and honest exploration of the ways in which class, race, luck, integrity, and the choices that we make can shape our lives.
