Bums was great. I saw it Friday night and enjoyned myself grately. I would recommend this play to take a date on.
Debra KosokiThe acting and lighting were fantastic!
Abi B."Bums!" is a musical feast, full of comedy and heart. We enjoyed it very much.
Katrina LantzI had so much fun at this show. My cheeks hurt by the end, I was laughing so hard. I was never bored with this show, it kept my attention the entire time. Even the ensemble was fun to watch. I loved all the different emotions I felt watching this. My husband and I talked about how we could relate to some of the characters in the show. My husband loved the time period, I loved the costumes. The ending was perfect, cause really sometime we are all Bums!!
Kelli StevensonIt was just very entertaining and made you feel at home.
William PattonI loved the music and dancing.
Steven EmermanI thought the show was good. It made me laugh.
Vicki SheltonThe entire show made you go back and forth between laughing and wanting to cry. It was a hilarious take on feeling unfulfilled. Highly recommend! Also, Weasel's comedic timing is everything!
Sami N.The acting was very believable with stand out acting from Weasel, Dirty Dan, and Mrs. Engerman, especially. The set was also fantastic!
Pauleen OrmeEntertainment like no other! I wanted to get up out of my seat and dance the whole time!
Isabel Opt HofIt was so nice to be able to see a show when everyone else was cooped up at home… life seemed to be a bit better being able to be in a theater with an energetic cast. The small theater is quite quaint. It is different than any other theater and it’s nice to have a performance that isn’t Hallmark type Hale/Broadway (I love them too, but nice to see something entirely different).
Michelle A.We loved this play and enjoyed experiencing the loyal theater. The passion and dedication of the actors was so evident! Main character, Edward, was phenomenal. We came to see our landlord’s daughter, Ava. She played Edward’s mom and an office worker. We were so happy for the opportunity to see her do her thing on stage. So fun! Thanks to the entire crew for organizing and putting on this event! We loved it all.
Alan and DeniseThe show was amazing! The songs were awesome! Loved every second!
Kim MeyerI was pleasantly surprised by how funny this musical farce was. I’d go again for another good hard belly laugh. I was looking for a fun in-theater experience, this fit the bill.
Ann HowSuch a fun show to see, and a great way to forget about your worries and just let loose. The cast is very devoted and passionate. I think this show has a bright future. I do think that filthy Fran and Edward would have a better connection if when they met it wasn’t just happenstance. It’s a great show and I loved seeing it.
Emily PorcelliAbsolutely amazing performance! I’d highly recommend this for anybody who’s looking for a fun and relaxing evening!

Tiffany Davis
Director
Tiffany won 'Best Director' for TREASURES ISLAND at the Angelus in 2023. She has a masters degree in theatre and a gift for bring stories alive onstage. Previous roles at the Angelus include a leading role in THE MOON WITCH, 'Rose' in A KRAMPUS KAROL, and 'Eve' in TAKE MY DEATH AWAY. She's also an accomplished singer-songwriter and author.
Stephen Gashler
Edward Pibbles
Though this is the first musical Steve wrote (originally premiering during a lunch break at Timpview High School in 2000), this is his first time acting the role of Edward, which is ironic, because he's not really acting at all. Steve is a producer, playwright, director, composer, and actor, AKA professional bum.
Alyssa Garn
Rhubarbara Thwackum
Alyssa is happy to be on the Angelus stage in this rendition of BUMS! The Musical. She music directed the 2021 show and wanted to join in on the fun. Some of her favorite roles include Maid Marian (Robin Hood) and Edna (A Krampus Karol). Please enjoy!
Eli Boyden
Weasel
Eli Boyden (Weasel) is so happy to be returning the Angelus for another show! After playing George in A Krampus Carol, they are excited to play Weasel, a character best described by their name.
Garion Jorgensen
Dirty Dan
Garion built the beautiful set before you (as well as every other set over the past year or so at the Angelus). Last year he starred as 'Krampus' in A KRAMPUS KAROL, 'Dr. Isaac' in TAKE MY DEATH AWAY, 'Captain Smollett' in TREASURE ISLAND, 'Hawk' in the LADY OF SHERWOOD, and 'Sportacus' in GIDEON VERSUS THE GODS OF COOL. He is anything but a bum.
Kirsten Fowler
Ella Vaughan
Kirsten Fowler is excited to be back for her second time on the Angelus stage! Previously playing Ms. Primple in Gideon vs the Gods of Cool, Kirsten upped her sass and changed her wardrobe for this fun performance of BUMS! The Musical. She wants to give a special thanks to the wonderful cast and crew as well as her amazing husband who watched their 4 kids to make this possible.
Jessica Champneys
Mrs. Engerman
Jessica is excited to be in her first production with the Angelus Theatre. After playing Trunchbull in Matilda last summer, she is thrilled to play another evil British lady in BUMS! The Musical. When she isn't screaming at people on stage, she works in the film industry as a director and producer.
