Bingo! - 1985 - Off-Off-Broadway History , Info & More

Bombastic Vern, superstitious Patsy, and ditsy, man-crazy Honey are addicted to Bingo! And no little hurricane is going to keep these die-hard players from their weekly game. Tonight is also the yearly celebration of the birth of Bingo and a tribute to its founder, Edwin S. Lowe. When the storm knocks out power at the Bingo Hall, Patsy and Honey remind each other of an ominous night fifteen years ago that began in the same way. In flashback, Honey tells us about the night Vern and her best friend, Bernice, had their falling out. Predictably, Bernice's sweet, yet headstrong daughter, Alison, enters the Bingo hall in disguise - Bernice's health is failing, and Alison is determined, with the help of Bingo, to reunite her mother with her long-lost best friend, Vern. With a smart, funny script and a bouncy, hummable score Bingo turns Grandma's favorite form of gambling into fun-loving musical theater. Audience members will also compete in three games for spectacular prizes! Did I hear someone yell "Bingo?" We have a winner!

'We Are Not All Winners' is Now Available
by Robert Diamond - Oct 11, 2014


Two-time winner of the Thurber Treat Award and 14 time runner-up for Father of the Year (as voted on by his family), Noell Wolfgram Evans has just released a collection of short stories entitled "We Are Not All Winners." "We Are Not All Winners" is a collection of humorous short stories that focuses on those everyday moments that are too often overlooked such as a child receiving a medical diagnosis that he is an asshole; a stone statue that comes alive with the sole intent of playing bingo; the struggles a spy undergoes when choosing his own torture method; the garage sale purchase of Howie Mandel. These are just some of the stories contained in a book that has been described as 'A masterpiece of wasted time.'* (*Luanne Evans, Mother) Noell Wolfgram Evans has written a number of fiction and non-fiction pieces that have appeared in print and digital formats. A playwright, his work has been produced across the country - from a theater stage in New York City to an elevator in Kentucky. He's written for the award winning short films There Will Be Blocks, Faceless, and Aidan 5 and is currently working on a better version of this release.
