Sister Returns To CRT In LATE NIGHT CATECHISM 3

Cortland's favorite schoolteacher nun "Sister" returns to the area with the third hilarious installment of the series in "Late Nite Catechism 3 - Til Death Do Us Part". Performances of this popular interactive comedy will be held on Saturday, November 4 at 2:00 and 7:30 PM at CRT Downtown, 24 Port Watson Street in Cortland. Tickets are $25.00; seating is cabaret style, and light refreshments with a beer/wine cash bar will be available. CRT informs audience members that having seen the previous installments of this series is not required to enjoy this production.

The Late Nite Catechism series are uproarious pieces of theater that take audience members back - sometimes nostalgically, sometimes fearfully - to their childhood. The irrepressible Sister teaches an adult catechism class 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. This night of comedy appeals to Catholics and non-Catholics alike, and is written such that 'Sister' explains religious references in a respectful, lighthearted way while maintaining a serious tone that isn't preachy or saccharine. In Til Death Do Us Part, Sister offers her hilarious views on the sacraments of marriage and last rites, including her own wacky version of "The Newlywed Game"! Bring along your sweetie and your sense of humor for some quality time with the feistiest marriage counselor in town!

Colleen Moore, a New York City actress, returns to play Sister as she did previously in Cortland. Following the two-act show, Ms. Moore will greet audience members in the CRT lobby and will take a collection to support the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany at St. Elizabeth Mother House.

Tickets for "Late Nite Catechism 3 - Til Death Do Us Part" are available by calling 800-427-6160, by visiting the Box Office at CRT Downtown, or online through the CRT website at www.cortlandrep.org.
