A side-splitting comedy by Stephen Gashler, set just before the Great Depression in New York City, exploring what it means to be a productive member of society … versus a bum.
In 1929, a daydreaming businessman named Edward feels trapped in his drab routines. Then he crosses paths with a homeless woman named Filthy Fran, who shows Edward a world of unstructured freedom. But going against the grain brings on the resistance of Edward’s fiancee, his family, and the corporate world. Why won’t society just let him be a bum? Get ready to laugh and be inspired by this swinging, 1920’s comedy.
“I could go on and on about the other actors and their comedic prowess, but suffice it to say the show was well cast. … I left the theater smiling and hungry for more original pieces like this one. … It’s exciting to see theatre written and produced by local playwrights, and Stephen Gashler shows all the promise of a truly great artist” (Utah Theatre Bloggers).
