ONU Freed Center to present off-Broadway hit ‘The Queen of Bingo’

Ohio Northern University's Freed Center for the Performing Arts presents the off-Broadway hit "The Queen of Bingo" on Saturday, Jan. 12, at 8 p.m. in Biggs Theatre.

"The Queen of Bingo" explores the world of bingo. Shane Partlow and Rowan Joseph play "Sis" and "Babe," two sisters on the other side of 50 looking to add a little zest to their lives. The comedy highlights the joys and woes of family bonds, widowhood, weight gain and all the pesky little things that come with getting older.

Audiences can catch the bingo spirit by participating in a real bingo game partway through the performance. The winner will receive a 10-pound frozen turkey donated by Ada's Community Market.

Tickets are $15 for general admission. The Freed Center box office is open Monday through Friday from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Phone orders are accepted with MasterCard, VISA or Discover by calling (419) 772-1900.
