Zany ‘Bingo’ links
gambling, religion
By John Fulwiaer
Theater Critic —
A plain metal-and-wood table
and two chairs stand alone in a
school hallway. A sign on the wall
reads “God loves parochial
schools.”
Two old
women enter —
one a rotund,
dispirited-look
ing figure
dressed in a
shocking red and
white mumu; the
other a tall,
skinny woman
with enough eye
shadow on to darken the whole
room.
They reach into their bags, pull
ing out their lucky items: a teddy
bear, a roll of toilet paper and sev
eral large ink stamps. They arrange
them carefully on the table, then sit
down.
Let’s play bingo!
“The Queen of Bingo” is a play
about bingo, bingo and more bingo
— that gambling game played to
raise money for the same churches
across the country that preach
against gambling.
As one might expect from the
Futz, “Queen” is just a tad irrever
ent.
One line at the same time pokes
fun at the traditional rivalry be
tween Cathol ics and Protestants and
points out the obvious hypocrisy of
gambling in a church. Sis(the skinny
one, played by Beth Muehling) tells
her younger sister, Babe (the ro
tund one, played by Jan Edwards),
that they’ll both go to Hell for play
ing bingo.
“But it’s not a sin for us,” Babe
protests. “Only for those Protes
tants.”
Futz shows never go long with
out some sexual humor. Babe asks
Play: The Queen of Bingo
Company: The Futz, Inc.
Director: Rick Swaink
Grade: B+
Five Words: Old maids live
for bingo
Sis why the number caller is taking
too long to check the bingo balls.
“Well, nobody will get off their
duffs and go check his balls,” Sis
says.
Besides the usual loveable silli
ness one would expect from the
Futz, “Queen” offers something
more: some really insightful char
acter development.
In between shouts of “Bingo!,”
we find that Babe has a serious
eating disorder—she’s tried every
diet known to man or woman, and
yet every time she’s alone in her
house, she eats everything there.
She has a pathological dread of
moving up to a size 18.
Sis seems to have a gambling
addiction. She tells Babe that she
plays bingo every night, traveling
acrosstown toplayatdifferenthalls.
Her bingo habit is driving a wedge
between her and her children, who
disapprove of her gambling.
Both Edwards and Muehling de
serve accolades for their excellent
performances.
To further extend the bingo
theme, Father Mac (Jim Hollerman)
led a genuine bingo game for the
audience at intermission, which
most everyone seemed to enjoy.
Especially the lady who won the
prize, a frozen turkey.
“The Queen of Bingo” contin
ues Thursday through Saturday at 8
p.m. at the Futz, 124 S. Ninth St. in
the Mission Arts building.

age, if not less.
Dec. 19:
“Clueless” — Oh goody. Alicia
Silverstone(receivingheractingtrain
ing in Aerosmith videos) comeSfforth
with a “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”
for the ’90s, and it’s “Clueless.”
(That wasn’t just the title, but also
the quality.)
Cher (Silverstone) suffers through
school, a driver’s test and problems in
social life, but she still has time to
spout off valley girl-ish phrases for
the audience to pick up on.
Nope.
Writer-Director Amy Heckerling
(“Fast Times at Ridgemont High”)
missed on “Clueless,” mainly because
Heckerling apparently didn’t know
that valley talk is as dead as Mark
Fuhrman’s career.
“Die Hard With A Vengeance” —
Although a slightly different twist from
the previous “Die Hard” flicks, this
one still fits the bill ... except for the
‘ very lame ending.
John McClane (Willis) and unwill
ing sidekick Zeus (Samuel L. Jack
son) have their hands full with a gold
heist, bad feelings for one another,
and bomb triggers to decipher, all
courtesy of Simon (Jeremy Irons).
The ending looks rushed and feels
the same. Willis is good, Jackson is
better and Irons is the best. Action
fans — and fans of brain-teasers —
should take note.
Dec. 27:
“Mortal Kombat”—Another video
game comes to the big screen, but
unlike its predecessors (“Street
Fighter,” “Super Mario Brothers” and
“Double Dragon”), this one actually
has a redeeming value: special ef
fects.
It’s good versus bad in this contest
of martial arts skill (and style), with
FX highlights of the invisible Reptile,
Scorpion’s spear and the multi-limbed
Goro.
Don’t expect a great plot or good
acting (it stars Christopher Lambert,
for goodness sakes), but it is a nice
diversion. Rent it if nothing else looks
appealing and your brain has shut
down.
