Description: Good People by David Lindsay-Abaire, to be audio described at the Seattle Rep on March 30: This deft and insightful comedy of class and culture focuses on Margie, a tough middle–aged “Southie” from the wrong part of Boston, who loses her job and is one rent check away from homelessness. In reaching out to an old flame from her youth who’s now a successful doctor, Margie risks all as she tries to find a fresh start. This Tony–nominated New York hit questions the makings of the American dream and how to achieve it—hard work, skill, or luck? Contains profanity and mature themes.

Title of Event: Audio Description-American Buffalo
Location of Event: Seattle Repertory Theatre
Date: 02/02/2013
Time: 02:00 PM
Description: American Buffalo by David Mamet, directed by Wilson Milam: During one long day in a run–down junk shop, three men of great ambition and low morals plan a heist of a customer’s valuable coin collection. When the con goes awry, it’s every man for himself. This fast-paced drama is all aggression and testosterone, with characters wielding words like weapons to intimidate, cajole and manipulate each other. The results are hilarious, powerful and ultimately tragic in a play that’s recognized as a modern masterpiece. Mamet’s tough-talking junk store con men don’t mince words. If you’re sensitive to profanity, be ready for some rough language.
