In this interactive musical
comedy, "the audience gets to join in the Bingo games at Hamerin County's St.
Luke's Church basement, where they will meet – among others – Vern, Honey and
Patsy, three pals that have driven through a terrible thunderstorm in the name
of their weekly obsession. In
between the number calling, strange rituals and fierce competitions, love
blossoms and estranged friends reunite, sending everyone home a
winner," according to press notes.
With choreography by Lisa Stevens, Bingo features scenic design by Eric Renschler, costume design by Carol Brys, lighting design by John Viesta and sound design by Lewis Mead. The show features musical supervision and orchestrations by Steven Bishop.
