Late Nite Catechism Comes to Canton for One Night Only!
by Laura Strader via NEohioPAL 02 Dec '16

02 Dec '16

Late Nite Catechism January 27, 2017 at 7:30pm Canton Palace Theatre Late Nite Catechism is, an uproarious piece of theater that takes audience members back - sometimes nostalgically, sometimes fearfully to the children they once were. The irrepressible Sister teaches an adult catechism cla...ss to a roomful of "students" (the audience). Over the course of the play, Sister goes from benevolent instructor, rewarding the "students" for correct answers with glow-in-the-dark rosaries and laminated saint cards, to authoritative drill sergeant. These abrupt mood swings are bound to strike a resonant chord with everyone who survived the ups and downs of going to school, with an omniscient authoritarian at the helm. The Catholic Register (Toronto) said, "The show appeals to Catholics and non-Catholics alike since 'Sister' clearly explains religious references in lighthearted ways while maintaining a serious tone that isn't too preachy and far from being saccharine." The New York Times in 1996 declared "Late Nite Catechism speaks to an audience much broader than the membership of any one church." Tickets are available now through the Canton Palace Theatre Box Office in person, online at www.cantonpalacetheatre.org/tickets<http://www.cantonpalacetheatre.org/tickets>, or over the phone at 330.454.8172.
