Gay Bingo: Fun With a Purpose
Every second Saturday, St. John’s Grace Episcopal Church is home to a fundraising event unlike few others in the city. Dubbed “Gay Bingo” by its fans, the night is a fun-filled event cleverly disguising a monthly benefit for the Buffalo AIDS Plus Fund of Western New York. The group provides services to other groups serving those affected with Aids and HIV all year long, sometimes holding food drives for the AIDS alliance of WNY food bank, or children’s blanket and book drives for the Pact Program at Children’s Hospital, for those children affected by or infected with HIV/AIDS.
The staff of the AIDS Plus Fund is entirely volunteer, with the board and staff working to help other HIV/AIDS grass root organizations that benefit those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS directly. Michael Warner, founder of the Buffalo AIDS Plus Fund, tells BRM that there is a $20 all-game package. Additional game boards are available for purchase as well. It’s bingo with a twist, for a terrific cause.
May 12, door at 6 PM, Bingo at 7 PM $5 – $20 St. John’s Grace Episcopal Church 51 Colonial Circle, 14222 More Info: Michael at 886.1621 or aidsplusfundwny@adelphia.net

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am
