Of course you’ve heard of dinner theatre, but have you ever thought about BINGO THEATRE?! Your audience will love playing five actual rounds of bingo while this outrageous murder mystery unfolds around them!
An innocent bingo fundraiser at the Our Mother of Mercy church goes awry when parishioners mysteriously drop dead! The evidence suggests well-calculated murders, but who is to blame? Tensions rise as everyone begins identifying suspects. Past feuds rear their heads as the members of the parish try to state their innocence one by one. Who could be behind the elaborate spree? The disgruntled choir director? The magician turned youth minister? The ex-convict that has recently turned to the power of prayer? It couldn’t be one of the Cookie Cadets selling their beloved cookies! Everyone’s a suspect... even the audience in the zany comedy that takes interactive theatre (and fundraising opportunities!) to a whole new level!
2024 winner of the Shubert Fendrich Memorial Playwriting Contest
