"'Bingo Night 2007' promises an evening of live entertainment, dazzling prizes, exciting celebrities, and good old-fashioned B-I-N-G-O. 'Bingo Night 2007' is Edge Theater's fourth annual fundraiser, the proceeds of which go directly to Edge's productions. This year's 'Bingo Night' will help raise money for Edge Theater's next production, the world premiere of Adam Rapp's Essential Self-Defense, a co-production with Playwrights Horizons," state press materials.

"At 'Bingo Night 2007,' guests get bingo cards at the door that let them play all night for an incredible selection of donated prize packages, including gifts from HBO, Bluefly.com, CLAY Spa, the Guggenheim, MoMA, Chelsea Piers, Chanterelle, La Petite Coquette, Satya Jewelry, Broadway shows, and more. Each round of bingo is called by a different team of celebrities. Bingo callers from previous years include Chris Noth, Rosario Dawson, Elizabeth Banks, Dylan Baker, and Anthony Rapp. In between rounds of bingo, music will be provided by Lucas Papaelias and Ray Rizzo."
