Hit Comedy, Bible Bingo, Returns
To the Greenhouse Theater Center, Chicago
Joins Late Nite Catechism on Stage
Bingo. Laughter. Goofy Prizes. And a bit of the Bible!
Vicki Quade and Nuns4Fun Entertainment are proud to announce the return of the hit comedy, Bible Bingo, at the Greenhouse Theater Center, Chicago, joining Late Nite Catechism to bring a lot of laughter to our audiences.
Now in its 14th year, Bible Bingo is a long-running comedy 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. It’s written by Vicki Quade, one of the creators of the international hit comedy, Late Nite Catechism.
Featured in the New York Times, Bible Bingo is described this way: “The show features improv, Broadway show-tune singalongs, onstage audience-participation quizzes about the Bible and, yes, bingo. Prizes include glow-in-the-dark rosaries and Jesus car fresheners that smell like olive trees.”
The Chicago Tribune promises “interactive fun.” The Chicago Stage Standard calls the show, “A fresh new twist on bingo.” New City Chicago raves, “the show is filled with Catholic humor.”
Sharing the ro
le of Mrs. O’Brien will be the show’s creator, Vicki Quade, along with comic actresses Liz Cloud and Nancy Greco, who have both appeared in many of Quade’s religious comedies.
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.”
Ticket prices for both Late Nite Catechism and Bible Bingo are $35, group rates available.
At the Greenhouse Theater Center, 2257 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago.

MEANWHILE: Add This to Your Reading List!
For years, Chicagoan Vicki Quade has been telling stories as a journalist, playwright, theater producer, and performer. So it’s not surprising she has a way of connecting with quirky characters during mundane, everyday occurrences.
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF A CHICAGO KIND is a compilation of those stories, examining the lives that brush past her on city streets, in banks, at the grocery store or in restaurants. With a sharp wit and empathetic skill, Quade colorfully recreates brief scenarios that range from the comic to the bizarre to the dangerous – and all are unique to the spirit of the Windy City.
“Vicki Quade is a Chicago treasure with an abiding curiosity about the world around her, and sprinkled among these fly-on-the-wall stories are some valuable tips on things to see and experiences to have in our great city.” — Will Clinger, Producer and Host of WILD TRAVELS, a TV show that airs nationally on PBS.
“Anyone who loves or wants to know Chicago will enjoy Vicki’s keen humor and vivid memories. They invite us to find new ways to live and laugh, especially during this pandemic isolation. Maybe it will encourage some to write their own memories of human encounters!”
— Sister Patricia Crowley, O.S.B., Benedictine Sisters of Chicago
