SC Summer Theatre Festival to Present
‘Bingo, the Winning Musical’
Winfield, Kan., July 19, 2021 —The Southwestern College Summer Theatre
Festival will present “Bingo, the Winning Musical” on Friday and Saturday, July
23 and 24 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, July 25 at 2 p.m., in Wroten Hall on the
campus of Southwestern College. The production is family friendly and intended
for all ages to enjoy.
“Bingo” is about a group of die-hard bingo players who stop at nothing to
miss their weekly game. In between the number calling, strange rituals and
fierce competitions, love blossoms and long-lost friends reunite.
“‘Bingo, The Winning Musical’ is a blast to perform and a blast for the
audience,” says director Joshua Robinson. “But at its heart, it is also a
story about friendship and forgiveness. I think Winfield audiences will be
moved to both laughter and tears, and may also win some fabulous prizes.”
The cast includes: Michelle Zakharov as Vern, Jamieson Campo as Patsy,
Deborah Badley as Honey, Jacob Giger as Sam Wonnietski/Frank, Lizzy Santana as
Minnie Martinelli and Bernice Boodalay, and Emily Robinson as Alison Boodalay.
The production team includes: Joshua Robinson, director; Amanda Li,
musica director and accompanist; Kenny Allman, technical director; Merie Campo,
set and light designer, sound board operator, and lighting board operator;
Lizzy Santana, costume designer and hair and makeup designer; Miranda
Hofmeister, box office manager; Madelyn Baty, props master; and Gabe Gonzalez,

According to Summer Theatre director Allyson Moon, Wroten Hall is being
used because that space can be transformed into a theatrical bingo hall.
