Late Nite Catechism

If you ever get a chance to see Late Nite Catechism, Til Death Do Us Part (Late Nite Catechism 3), or any of its derivations, you will be guaranteed a fun-filled experience.

Maripat Donovan, Playwright/Producer and the original "Sister" created this unique series in 1993. She has starred in productions throughout the United States and in London, Dublin and Toronto. She is the recipient of the Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Best Solo Performance and received a nomination for Best Writing. She also is the recipient of the coveted New York Outer Critics Circle Award nomination for Best Solo Performance. The sequel to Late Nite Catechism is Sister Strikes Again, Late Nite Catechism 2 and Sister's Christmas Catechism, The Mystery of the Magi Gold.

Til Death Do Us Part is the third production of this series I've seen and I laughed as much as the first time I saw Late Nite Catechism, even if you sort of know what to expect in terms of Sister's conduct. You don't have to be brought up Catholic to appreciate this show, but it helps. What impressed me in this current show is how topical Sister is...mentioning Angelina Jolie, Ipods, etc. She pulls things from the internet straight from the Vatican to share current doctrine, changes from the new Pope, all told in an hilarious way.

Did I mention that it's interactive? Oh, yeah. Don't come in late, or Sister will really get on you.
And for heaven's sake, don't even think about talking on your cell during the show. Yup, someone in the center section had his phone confiscated for the whole show and coughed up $10 to boot. You don't mess around with Sister.

What did I learn? There's still a purgatory, but no limbo. That's huge.
