A new play about a teenaged bingo caller at a crossroads opens March 9th at The Autry. Edward is the center of his Pueblo’s bimonthly bingo game, but when college acceptance letters start to arrive, he has a decision to make: stay in his community, or venture out into the world. Bingo Hall is the latest from the museum’s Native Voices program. Playwright Dillon Chitto stopped by the KUSC studios for a chat with Out & About’s Kelsey McConnell.
