Bingo was it’s name-o…
I went to see a preview show of the brand new interactive theater show here in the Twin Cities, “We Gotta Bingo!” I have to say it was a hoot. I have never been able to see an interactive show before, so I have nothing to compare it too, but I still say it was a hoot.
For those of you who don’t know what interactive theater is, think “Tony ‘n’ Tina’s Wedding”. Think “The Awesome 80’s Prom”. It is a group of actors that are in character and “on stage” for almost the entire show. The audience is usually part of the show as well. For instance, “We Gotta Bingo” places the audience in the beer room of a brewery as patrons of a Bingo night to raise money for a church. Hilarity…and Bingo…ensue. I never won at Bingo, but i got really close a few times. It is silly how exciting a stupid game like that can be. There are mostly scripted bits, but the characters all wander around freely and talk with you all night. It was a fun thing to be a part of. Oh, they feed you, too. It was a yummy meal of lasagna and “bars” for dessert. Go check it out when it opens next Friday!!

If you’ve never been to interactive theatre before how can you compare it to Tony and Tina and Awesome 80’s?
I think your comment isn’t legit - are you involved in the show and are trying to promote it because sales are bad? I was considering getting tickets but the price is outragous for what you get. I heard the meal is served on paper plates. Is that true? For 68.50 it’d be nice to have an actual plate.
I can compare it because Tony ‘n’ Tina and Awesome 80’s Prom are also interactinve theater. I am also an active member of the acting community and know many people who are in or have been in both of those shows.
Yes, they do serve dinner on paper plates. There is an entire game played with the passing out of the plates. The setting is also supposed to be a church pot luck sort of deal. The food IS really good, though. You’ll just have to trust me on that ;)
No, I am not part of the show. Sorry if you think my comment wasn’t legit. I was just a person who knows a ton about theater sitting in on a performance and having a good time.
80’s Prom is a good time for all. Women enjoy most of the evening away from the home and kids. Fender has gotten busted by the local cops and sheriff’s patrol for being a street person. And we all remember people in our graduating class that fit the actors personna.

For real? Is this some kind of spam comment? The only thing for women to enjoy about it is a chance to put some shoes on and get out of the kitchen?
