City Theatre to Present SISTER'S SUMMER SCHOOL CATECHISM: GOD NEVER TAKES A VACATION, 9/5-15

City Theatre celebrates the season of baseball and barbeque with Sister's Summer School Catechism: God Never Takes a Vacation, a hilarious interactive comedy featuring audience favorite Kimberly Richards. A City Events special presentation, Sister's Summer School Catechism runs in City Theatre's Hamburg Studio from September 5 to 15, 2013.

Sister is back, and she's not happy. Instead of relaxing poolside at the motherhouse all summer, she's stuck teaching catechism to YOU-truants, all of you. School is in session, so get ready to sit up straight and participate! Complete with hilarious audience interaction, Saints versus Cardinals baseball, and the irrepressible Kimberly Richards, this is one lesson you'll be happy to learn!
