IT'S A GAME!  IT'S A SHOW!  IT'S A PARTY!

THE SHOW

A MUSICAL

WITH BALLS!

Welcome to BINGO Jamboree: a full-fledged one-act musical centered around a naughty, not-your-grandma's game of blackout BINGO!

Set at an immersive block party at Cocksville Town Hall, this fast, funny, and ballsy bonanza is 90-minutes with no intermission.

A paraody Playbill entitled "Slaybill" lists the BINGO Jamboree credits and songs, accompanied by a blurb about the show: "An eccentric group of middle-of-nowhere locals arrives at Cocksville Town Hall for the Dingleberry's annual BINGO Jamboree.  With colossal dreams and a grab bag of aspirations, each memeber of this motley crew is vying for the big win and hoping to never hear the harrowing call of "BINGO!" shouted from the other side of the room.  Loaded with audience participation, BINGO Jamboree centers around a fast-paced, immersive, not-your-grandma's game of blackout BINGO with a live-streamed finale.  It's a riotous life lesson, and it the end, you'll see that we're really not that different after all."

DISCOVER YOUR

INNER WINNER!

BINGO Jamboree is so much more than a musical: you'll play a real game of blackout BINGO with some ballsy twists and turns.  One guest will walk away with a crown, a grand prize, and all the glory.  The best part:  it could be YOU!  #blessed

An instructional game pamphlet for BINGO Jamboree: "The Setup: Blindly pick your own BINGO card from the stockpile.  Your fat is in your own hands. Want to buy in and play more than one car? Sure thing! Grab a seat and remember us when you're famous! How To Play: This is a diabolical game of blackout BINGO, also known as coverall. Fight for a win against your fellow players.  Easy to play, easy to win, and in the end, it's all about luck! Winner FAQ: For every game, there is one winner, and one winner only.  There's no splitting this jackpot.  The odds are 1 in X (# of cards sold). The winner get an awesome crown and an awesome-er trophy!  There's even a grand prize. Cool!"

LET YOUR

FREAK FLAG FLY!

Our hosts Don and Debra Dingleberry help guide you and your fellow neighborhood pals through the night, but there are no rules on how to enjoy this outlandish soirée.  Get ready for games, food, music, & dancing! #aboutlastnight

An invitation to the BINGO Jamboree with some info about the night: "Once you cross the threshold into Cocksville Town Hall, you're greeted by Don and Debra Dingleberry--your fabulous hosts of tonights big shindig.  They'll help you slap on your official "Hello My Name Is" sticker and get to know the neighborhood.  You're a Cocksvillian for the night so let your freak flag fly! Grab a cocktail or fruit punch if that's your vice.  Check out the super fancy, historically accurate trophy case for some Cocksville sports trivia, and stop by the community notice board to sign up for baton lessons.  Pop a squat in one of our coveted on-stage seats or pull up a chair in the back and pray no one interacts with you.  Debra will swing by with some ice-breakers, or as we like to call them, ball-breakers, to help ease you into the evening.  Once the winner of BINGO Jamboree is crowned (and it might be you), giddy-up to DJ Glenn's Awesome Dance Party and make your mark! Slay the selfies!"

FAQ
  • IS IT IMMERSIVE THEATRE?
    Yes! BINGO Jamboree is a theatrical experience set inside the fictional Cocksville Town Hall. From the moment you cross the threshold into our world, you are encouraged to interact with our characters and fellow out-of-towners. Our hosts Don and Debra Dingleberry help guide you through the night, but there are no rules on how to enjoy their outlandish soirée.
  • IS IT A MUSICAL?
    Yes! BINGO Jamboree is a full-fledged one act musical—a musical with balls, if you will. Both Don and Debra Dingleberry, as well as the rest of the Cocksville gang, have an awful lot to sing about. It's BINGO, after all!
  • IS IT A REAL GAME? IS THERE A WINNER?
    Yes and yes! The game play within BINGO Jamboree functions like a traditional game of blackout BINGO, but there is nothing traditional about our Jamboree. One guest will walk away with a crown, a grand prize, and all the glory. The best part: it could be you!
  • DID SOMEONE SAY PARTY?
    Yasss! If spending a night frolicking with the Dingleberrys wasn't already party enough (and boy, is it), Cocksville's second best amateur DJ is hosting his own super awesome dance party after the winner has been anointed.
  • WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR?
    Adults love BINGO Jamboree, but they shouldn't bring the kiddos. The standard version of the show contains grown-up language and late-night humor.
  • CAN I CUSTOMIZE THE NAUGHTY-METER?
    BINGO Jamboree's humor is customizable. While we think it's super cool the way it was written, we know others may gasp when Nanny shouts "make way for the F*@#!NG queen," and we respect that. The script is flexible and can be adjusted to suit a variety of audiences.
  • HOW CAN I LICENSE THE SHOW?
    BINGO Jamboree is currently licensed for performance directly from HALFWORLD. We can't wait to hear from you!
  • WHAT ARE THE CASTING REQUIREMENTS?
    BINGO Jamboree is written for an ensemble of 8 performers: 4 female-presenting principals 4 male-presenting principals Swings should be considered, and inclusive casting is encouraged!
