Adult Comedy by Jeanne Michels and Phyllis Murphy
Simon Frederick, Director

Where can two sisters on the other side of 50, who want to add a little zest, fun and excitement to their lives find it? BINGO! Babe and Sis compliment each other in ways only sisters can and they drive each other crazy in that same sisterly way. A real bingo game (The Middle Bird Special!) is played by the audience during the show and somebody will win a fresh frozen turkey at every performance. This show played to packed houses at Chicago's Buckingham Theatre. "The Queen of Bingo is hilarious comedy." - Columbia Chronicle
