The Indiana Repertory Theatre’s (IRT) commitment to build a vital and vibrant community through top-quality, professional theatre will be represented through a unique Pay-What-You-Can promotion to see the Broadway hit play Good People, by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire on Jan. 7 at 6:30 p.m.
Good People takes a look at the economic divide through the story of a single mother, Margie Walsh, who is on her last leg financially, but hasn’t lost her sense of humor. Walsh loses her job and faces eviction, while simultaneously tasked with caring for her adult daughter with special needs. When Margie learns that her former high school flame has become a successful doctor, she seeks his help and raises questions about the matrix of class, opportunity and our own assumptions of what it means to ‘succeed.’
With the Pay-What-You-Can promotion, the entire community can purchase tickets to this wise and searingly funny production at significantly reduced prices. This promotion makes world class theatre, made in Indiana, available to audiences who may not typically attend the IRT’s productions. Tickets can be purchased for $1, $5, $10, $15 or $20. Regular ticket prices are $25-$59.
The Pay-What-You-Can promotion is limited to four tickets per person which can be reserved by phone (317) 635-5252 or in person at the ticket office. Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and while supplies last.
Good People, featured on the IRT OneAmerica stage, has a run time of 2 hours and features a one 15-minute intermission. This production features a pre-show discussion, hosted by IRT staff and artists that begins 45 minutes before curtain and conclude 20 minutes before curtain. Good People runs through Feb. 1 and contains potentially offensive language and adult themes.
