It's 'CSI: Bethlehem' in this holiday mystery extravaganza from the author of Late Nite Catchism as Sister takes on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages-whatever happened to the Magi's gold?

Retelling the story of the nativity as only Sister can, this hilarious holiday production is a holiday treat. Employing her own scientific tools, a local choir, and a gaggle of audience members, Sister creates a living nativity unlike any you've ever seen before.

BWW Reviews: CATCO's A CHRISTMAS CAROL Proves Great Things Come in Small Packages
by Lisa Norris - December 16, 2013
This production is filled with so many novel approaches while maintaining the classic's integrity, that viewing it was much like unwrapping a gift. And don't let its humble 8 member cast fool you- good things do come in small packages. Arguably the best set designer in town, Michael S. Brewer creates a first impression in his lovely 1940's abandoned London theater set that immediately intrigues audience members as being both non-traditional and perfect, all at once. Director Joe Bishara combines the traditional tale with Patrick Barlow's twist- a group of actors who perform the play in said abandoned theater, and creates memorable scenes with a dynamic cast of only a few performers who play multiple roles, and a vintage marionette utilized as Tiny Tim.
