This is a Purim party, and guests are encouraged to wear a costume, or something flamboyant and fun. If you’re a “costume person”, this is your moment! Not a costume person? Donn a funny hat and your best smile, and you’re ready to go. One word of caution—we will be seated for the bingo game, so inflatable dinosaur costume enthusiasts should consider themselves warned.


Nope! The Network does a lot of family friendly events, but this one is definitely 21+.


Bingo will be MC’ed by comedian, playwright and producer Mac Cherny, playing his beloved character, Merriam Levkowitz, America’s Favorite Drag Bubbie. She is known for her sharp wit and musical parodies. She has a lifelong love of both Purim and Bingo. See more at sidewalklilyproductions.com
