Good Boys and True Tickets

Against a backdrop of 1980s privilege and power, a disturbing scandal at an all-boys' prep school forces a mother to confront the truth about her son and herself. As the scandal unexpectedly twists and turns, mother and son find themselves contending with unforeseen and long-concealed secrets that threaten to destroy both school and family. Second Stage Theatre presents Good Boys and True after presenting Aguirre-Sacasa's The Mystery Plays in 2004. The play premiered at Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago last season.

Story for Good Boys and True

By Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Directed by Scott Ellis, with Christopher Abbott, Betty Gilpin, Kellie Overbey (The Coast of Utopia), Brian J. Smith (Come Back, Little Sheba), J. Smith-Cameron (After the Night and the Music), Lee Tergesen ("Oz").

For generations, Saint Joseph's Prep, an all-boys Catholic school in Washington, DC, has taken privileged young men and shaped them into "good boys and true." In the late 1980's, a scandal rocks the school, drawing in a mother and her son--the school's star football player--forcing each to judge the difference between teenage irresponsibility and what might be a deeper, more unsettling lapse of character. Good Boys and True, a riveting new play, is written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Based on a Totally True Story, The Mystery Plays, HBO's "Big Love") and directed by TonyR Award-nominee Scott Ellis (Curtains, The Little Dog Laughed, Twelve Angry Men).
