About
Bible Bingo is a comedy written by Vicki Quade about the Catholic culture of fundraising and bingo, featuring the character, Mrs. Mary Margaret O'Brien, a former nun who now heads a fictitious archdiocese fundraising department.
The Chicago Stage Standard calls the show, “A fresh new twist on bingo.” New City Chicago raves, “the show is filled with Catholic humor.”
The role is shared by four performers: Vicki Quade, Kathleen Puls Andrade, Michelle Renee Thompson, and Cheryl Roy.
In this interactive comedy, the parish needs money and Mrs. O’Brien is ready to help! Bring the two together and you have a night of bible trivia, audience interaction, improvised moments, and the funniest quiz about the Holy Family you’ve ever seen.
Add to that a box of wacky prizes, fun bingo cards, and a lot of Catholic humor. In this interactive bingo show, you’ll actually play bingo, and still learn a little something about what it means to be Catholic! The show gets the audience talking about everything from Adam & Eve to modern sins.
You’ll be laughing so hard, you’ll have to be careful watching your bingo cards!
“Bible Bingo is a really good show,” says Theatre by Numbers. “A number of people get together to have some munchies and drinks. They play a few rounds of Bingo while they laugh, sing, chat, and goof around. It is a beautiful thing.”
Go ahead…. resurrect your social life in this guaranteed night of divine entertainment!
More fun than Sodom and Gomorrah!!
So much fun, you’ll have to confess it!!!

by 1NewBingoFan on 5/15/13Royal George Theater - ChicagoSaw the show at the Royal George Theater yesterday, and loved it! We got to actually play bingo, which was a lot of fun. There were kids and adults in the audience and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. There was nothing edgy or questionable about the show but we were still laughing anyway because of the way the performer was handling the audience interaction. She seemed to tie everything into a Bible story somehow so we got a little religion in the mix too! Would totally go back to see it again. I hope they start a run of it, we just happened to be off that afternoon.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Bible Bingo is a hoot!
by melckizedek1 on 10/2/12Chandler Center for the Arts - ChandlerA great audience participation, one-woman play. And best of all it really was a charitable event including a silent auction and bake sale. The play was a little hokey and predictably a satire of Catholic Bingo night and yes we did play bingo. There were some laugh out loud lines but not many. Still, it is a unique idea that works. It's worth seeing if you get a chance.
