BINGO Night at The Toolbox
Saturday, May 30, 2015 Filed in: What's New
WHAT: BINGO for BRIDGING THE GAPWHEN: Wednesday, June 3rd 8 to 10 p.m.
WHERE: The Toolbox Bar – 1742 2nd Ave (at 91st Street)
Remember the innocent days “way back when” when we played bingo for pennies and drank Coca Cola out of those real green bottles? Don’t remember but wish you did? Join us on Wednesday, June 3rd at 8 p.m. for intergenerational BINGO at The Toolbox bar! This is a special opportunity to mingle with cast members from the intergenerational LGBTQ theater ensemble Bridging the Gap and help raise money for the project. Since January, the Toolbox has been collecting 10% of its weekly BINGO night winnings. In June, the Toolbox will not only donate the funds to Bridging the Gap, but they will match the funds collected. Help us raise as much as we can by joining us for BINGO in a comfy neighborhood gay bar!

Bridging the Gap is featuring blog posts from our group members to give an inside view of what it's like to be part of the project. This post about the second session is written by Amethyst, who has returned to Bridging the Gap every year since 2011. You can see a picture of her in conversation with Jack above. Enjoy!
This week was the first time the seniors and younger participants came together. Since I am one of the senior participants, I was very eager to meet and greet the younger members of our theatre group. Of the younger members who attended, some had been part of Bridging The Gap before, and some were brand new members. It was very good to see people I had interacted with in prior Bridging The Gap workshops; but it was also great to meet new people as well.

Bridging the Gap is back for our 4th year! We are currently recruiting participants for our free project. It is an intergenerational theater project designed to spark conversations across the LGBTQ generation gap by creating original theater. Using theater games and improvisation, group members will develop and perform an original show. No prior experience with theater is necessary to participate. The project meets on Saturday afternoons beginning September 27th. It is open to people between the ages of 18 and 25 or 60 and up who self-identify as LGBTQ.
