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.

Take A Day Trip to Fallingwater

"There in a beautiful forest was a solid, high rock ledge rising beside a waterfall, and the natural thing seemed to be to cantilever the house from that rock bank over the falling water..."
_{-- Frank Lloyd Wright in an interview with Hugh Downs, 1954
Frank Lloyd Wright prominent architect for the family of department store executive} Edgar J. Kaufmann.

The interior of Fallingwater remains true to Frank Lloyd Wright's vision as well, including cantilevered desks, earth-toned built-in sofas, polished stone floors, and large casement windows which allow the outdoors to pour in. The hearth of the soaring stone fireplace is actually a boulder on the hill, supposedly Mr. Kaufmann's favorite sunning spot before Fallingwater was built - the house was literally built around it. From the Great Room a set of stairs enables you to walk down and stand on a tiny platform in the middle of the stream. Fallingwater makes a great day trip especially in the fall. Enjoy the beauty of the foliage as you travel about 90 miles .
