The Musical</b><i> </i>mixes character songs, quirky contestants, romance and rivalry into an interactive, presentational contest — all during a fierce hurricane. In this environmental musical comedy, the audience gets to join in the Bingo game at Hamerin County’s St. Luke’s Church basement, where they will meet, among others, Vern, Honey and Patsy: three pals that have driven through Hurricane Dora in the name of their weekly obsession. In between the number calling, strange rituals and fierce competitions, love blossoms and estranged friends reunite, sending everyone home a winner. <b>BINGO!</b> is not only a musical comedy; it’s a study in friendship and the devotion – or lack thereof – of people who played and talked together for years. It’s an opportunity for us to see how people can know so much about one another and yet, during the course of an evening, realize how much more they need to learn. Of course it’s also an opportunity for the audience to play some Bingo, hear great music and laugh…a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:150%'><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The Roles (ages are approximate and could vary in actual casting): </span><o:p></o:p></strong></p><p style='line-height:150%'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>MALES: <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Sam</span></strong>, (40’s,) is the Bingo caller; he is tall, rugged and handsome.
