City Theatre Tradition:Sister’s Christmas Catechism

Pittsburgh has a lot of entertainment to offer and City Theatre provides its share. The City Theatre is located at 1300 Bingham and 13Th Streets, on Pittsburgh’s South Side.
During the Christmas season try a different kind of Christmas play.
The City theatre will feature a special engagement of Sister’s Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold runs on from December 4–30, 2007.
For the third year, Kimberly Richards will star as “Sister” on a bright and festive set by City Theatre’s Director of Production and Resident Scenic Designer Tony Ferrieri.

The hugely popular Catechism series includes Late Nite Catechism, Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are Guilty, and Sister’s Christmas Catechism: the Mystery of the Magi’s Gold. In all three shows the theatre becomes a catechism class taught by “Sister.” The audience members are her students, who are either disciplined or rewarded based on their behavior. Using improvisation and audience interaction, the productions are an unusual and entertaining mix of nostalgia, comedy and Catholic dogma.
This play is entertaining and unusual not your everyday Christmas play. You might even get chosen to interact with Sister as she entertains you.
