Angela Busgano
Little Sally
How cathartic to be part of the Rebellion! In 7th grade, Angela was forced to watch her first musical at her local high school, which just so happened to be "Urinetown". The musical, not the high school. The wonderfully absurd experience has stuck with her since. Otherwise you may have recently seen her at Bindlestiff Studios down on 6th Street (shoutout epicenter of Filipino-American performing arts) in "The Indios Bravos Trilogy," "The Love Edition 8," and "Stories High XXIV," as Audrey in "Little Shop of Horrors" with Green Swan MT, and long ago (but still relevant in her memories) as Eponine in "Les Misérables" with Stage1 Theatre. She currently plays Sam in "The Shop" a Youtube series from TheVaultTCG about employees dealing with the everyday chaos of a trading card store (Angry Goose Games), shot mockumentary style. Reminder to stay hydrated and enjoy your bathroom privileges!

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
There’s no way to sugar coat it. The past few years have been pretty brutal on the arts community. As arts organizations around the Bay Area have been forced to close their doors, we know that the only way we can continue to produce kick-ass live theatre in San Francisco is with the help of our community. We ask you to consider making a tax-deductable donation to help keep the light shining bright at Ray of Light Theatre. In return, we promise to continue serving up the amazing BLOOD. SWEAT. MUSICALS. that you’ve come to expect!
Thank you. Seriously.
