Get into the Valentine’s spirit over a round of drag queen bingo with the incomparable Grand Duchess Olivia Hart presiding as Mistress of Ceremonies. Play for a chance to win fabulous prizes, and you’ll be supporting free/sliding-scale community tickets to TLM’s upcoming production of The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot play.
The Tenderloin Museum is opening a new production of The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot play in June of 2024! Planned as an ongoing production, the play will take place at TLM’s new space on Larkin St., which is currently being transformed into an immersive set reminiscent of a 60s diner, and will feature a cast and crew of 15. The CCR creative team is hard at work actualizing this expansive vision for the play and building on the magic of the show’s much-feted and completely sold out 2018 premiere run. In short, this upcoming production of The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot is an exciting and substantial undertaking!
TLM is committed to making The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot affordable for all through the provision of sliding scale and needs-based ticket options, as well as free tickets to Tenderloin and trans-centric organizations. To muster resources for a “no one turned away for lack of funds” option to experience the play, the museum is hosting an evening of drag queen bingo to raise funds for these community tickets.
Combining two time-honored Tenderloin traditions–drag and games of chance–drag queen bingo is a fun and convivial way to support a good cause and have a chance to win fabulous prizes from local businesses and organizations in TLM’s community. Legendary Tenderloin queen, Aunt Charlie’s Angel, and your favorite redhead Olivia Hart will preside over the bingo balls and play mistress of ceremonies; whether you win or lose, your numbers will be called with wit, grit, and a saucy sense of humor. Join us!
