Review: BOEING BOEING at Barrington Stage Company


by Marc Savitt - July 22, 2024

At a time when headlines are ominous, dew points are uncomfortable if not oppressive, and very little is what it appears to be on the surface, a lighthearted romp, fraught with silliness and laughter seems very appropriate.
