GS-14
Ben rates it: A comedy about a frustrated government manager breaking all the rules to accomplish something worthwhile sounds like a satisfying premise, right? I was definitely excited to see Jason Ford’s GS-14, given my own interest in politics and government.
Cabaret CooCoo
Christopher rates it: I wish every Saturday evening ended in juggling, magic tricks, dancing, and gaudy singing.
