Bingo is such a Drag...Queen

BINGO!

Hamburger Mary's is BACK! And Ghostlight is excited to be part of its Wednesday’ night HamBingo event this week to benefit our fall production of Angry Fags.

HamBINGO is a weekly charity event held at Hamburger Mary’s (now in Edgewater) at 7 p.m. every Wednesday, hosted by one of their fabulous drag queens!

There are eight rounds of Bingo and eight chances to win some fabulous prizes from our donors (plus tickets to Angry Fags!)

Join Ghostlight this week, on Wednesday, October 29, at Hamburger Mary’s, 1055 W. Bryn Mawr Avenue. The Bingo will be as vicious as the Queens who host it!

Make sure to reserve your spot in advance.

Up Next: Join us for a fall Happy Hour on Oct. 21

We had such a great time with our spring Happy Hour, that we’re doing another round and we’ll hope you’ll join us!

Ghostlight Ensemble presents the second installment of Happy Hour — a staged reading series made up of short plays with one thing in common, they’re all set in bars. The readings will take place, where else but, IN a bar, so join us on Tuesday, October 21, at My Buddy’s to start the Halloween season off fright. 

Happy Hour features a mix of writers from the greater Chicago area, but also submissions from across the Midwest as well as the coasts. 

The seven stories that make up the show include tales of new loves, old loves, grief, joy and Bigfoot.

Tickets are now on sale for Angry Fags

Tickets are on sale for our fall show, Angry Fags by Topher Payne. This all-too-relevant play about what happens when political rhetoric turns violent is a story of frustration and fear that eventually gives way to rage and revenge.

Angry Fags centers on LGBTQ+ issues and gives voice to the rage that people are feeling about what’s happening in the world around us, but it also prompts us to consider what we do with that rage besides letting it turn us into the very thing we are fighting against.

Tickets are available today via the show page. Click here to access it.
