B-1. I-29. N-36. G-49. O-73. BINGO!
Everyone was a winner at NCJW/Essex’s first-ever “A Drag Queen Bingo Show, starring Hanukah Lewinsky.” Held on Tuesday night, December 3 at Crestmont Country Club, the sold-out evening brought together more than 250 NCJW/Essex members and friends for a night of fun, great food, and an amazing experience.
Kudos to Chair Justin Hirschtritt, VP of Engagement Lisa Katz and Jackie Davidson, NCJW/Essex Manager of Engagement and Community Impact for all their work putting together a great night. A special thank you to Temple B’nai Abraham for their support and help with the prizes, which included gift cards to local restaurants, spas and stores, plus a special package of wine. Before collecting their prizes, bingo winners shared fun facts about themselves with the audience, like the time one saw her name not in lights, but on the front page of the New York Times! A fun fact about Hanukah: she attended college in Staten Island, delighting several in the audience, majored in theater and began her journey toward last night’s performance.
And performances were had. Hanukah entertained the sold-out crowd between games of bingo with her take on Popular from Wicked, with a special appearance by Lady Wexford, the Real Housewives franchise (check out the Halloween edition of Watch What Happens Live for another Hanukah cameo), and a show-stopper of Abba tunes to end the night.
