Get ready to howl with laughter! On Sunday, November 15 at 2:00PM, join us at the Morris Museum's Bickford Theatre for a production of "The Queen of Bingo."

Audiences young and old will love the antics of two zany guys, playing two crazy gals, in this Off-Broadway hit comedy about Bingo, family bonds, widowhood, diet crazes, winning and losing and sibling rivalry. In the tradition of the hilarious Harvey Korman and Tim Conway sketches from the old Carol Burnett Show, "The Queen of Bingo" is about a night in the lives of "Sis" and "Babe," two sisters on the other side of 50, who want to add a little fun, zest and excitement to their lives with a night out at the Bingo game. Featuring the "Middle Bird Special" just before intermission, the audience gets to join in the fun with a bingo game of its own and the winner gets a frozen turkey.
