Night Before Christmas At Circa ’21
“Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” But wait. A mouse is stirring – because Santa missed his house last year.
Before you can say “Merry Christmas,” we’re off on the wild adventures of a mouse, an elf and a spunky little girl who visit the North Pole and just won’t take no for an answer.
Don’t miss this joyful tribute to the holiday season!
Showing November 24 – December 23, 2023
Show-only performances as well as brunch days available!

And she’s loving him with that body, I just know it,
Yeah ‘n’ he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night.”
Just like “regular” bingo, but we replaced bingo numbers, like “B16”, with parts of songs. If you know the song title (no phones, devices or apps – basically no cheating), then place a bingo chip on that square. Get 5 squares in a row and you’re a winner!!
It’s the most fun you will ever have playing bingo!
