LATE NITE CATECHISM at Florida Repertory Theatre

Catechism classes have never been as much fun – or as hilarious – as when they are led by the ‘Sister’ in the international hit comedy, “Late Nite Catechism.” This uproarious piece of theatre takes audience members back – sometimes nostalgically, sometimes fearfully – to the children they once were. The irrepressible Sister (played by actress Denise Fennel) teaches an adult catechism class to a roomful of “students” (the audience). As the play unfolds, Sister goes from a benevolent instructor, rewarding the “students” for correct answers, to an authoritative drill sergeant. These attitude shifts are bound to strike a resonant chord with anyone who survived the ups and downs of going to school with an omniscient authoritarian at the helm.
