First-time director Sandy Campbell and show star Susan Clausen talk about their affection for the David Lindsay-Abaire play and its 'Southie' setting
Six years ago, Ted Leib and Susan Clausen co-starred in David Lindsay-Abaire’s play “Good People” at Scripps Ranch Theatre.
This month, they’re returning to the same play at Oceanside Theatre Company, where Leib is artistic director. Clausen has moved up from the secondary character of Jean to the lead role of Margie, and Leib will reprise the role of Mike, the play’s lead male character. Set in South Boston — where the playwright grew up — the 2011 play is the story of Margie, a nice but impoverished dollar-store worker who struggles to support herself and her special-needs adult daughter. When she loses her job, she reaches out for help to Mike, her high school ex-boyfriend, who left the neighborhood and became a successful doctor. As she pressures him to help out an old friend, she begins spilling secrets from his past.
Veteran San Diego actor Sandy Campbell is making her directorial debut with “Good People” at Oceanside Theatre Company.David Lindsay-Abaire is a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and it shows. “Good People” is an extraordinarily well-written play. It’s about life-altering choices and who actually gets the opportunity to make them. The characters strike us as very real, very flawed and not always likable, but they are trying their best to be “good” people.
“Good People” opens May 13 at the Brooks Theatre, 217 N. Coast Highway in Oceanside. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, through May 28. Tickets are $30 to $45. OTC is also offering a military matinee at 2 p.m. May 14, with two free tickets for military members with ID. Visit
