People Suck is a song cycle that explores the many, many ways in which humans are awful to each other...especially when we ourselves are the ones who suck. The show follows a plotless emotional arc that goes from light-and-pithy to dark-and-unflinching, before coming to rest in a hopeful closing number exhorting the audience to “suck a little less each day, stopping sucking starts with you.” Along the way, we meet a vaudeville kindergarten teacher explaining that “Everyone’s an Asshole”, bored office-workers whose petty workday aggressions boil over into fiery operatic arias, and a Gilbert and Sullivan admiral who patters a scathing manifesto about the importance of grammar.
