MARION, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—The Marion Palace Theatre invites local audiences to a night of high-stakes humor and mystery with the upcoming production of the interactive comedy, Holy Mother of Bingo!
Set to take place in the May Pavilion, the play transforms a routine church fundraiser at “Our Mother of Mercy” parish into a chaotic crime scene. As parishioners begin dropping dead, the audience is thrust into the middle of the investigation alongside eccentric church staff and suspicious cookie-selling cadets.
In a unique twist on traditional theatre, attendees will participate in five real rounds of bingo integrated into the storyline as the mystery unfolds.
“This unique theatrical experience blends comedy, mystery, and audience interaction for a one-of-a-kind night,” said Director Elizabeth Moore.
Performances are scheduled for:
- Friday, April 24, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.
- Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets are priced at $29, with a limited number of Premium Seats available for $39. Those interested in attending can purchase tickets through the Marion Palace Theatre Box Office at 740-383-2101 or online at marionpalace.org.
The Box Office, located at 276 W. Center St., is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The production is locally sponsored by Rex & Carolyn Parrott.
