SISTER'S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM: THE MYSTERY OF THE MAGI'S GOLD Comes to Stages Rep Tonight

Denise Fennell (The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, The Catechism Series) returns for the holidays as Houston's favorite nun - Sister, in SISTER'S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM: THE MYSTERY OF THE MAGI'S GOLD by Maripat Donovan, with Jane Morris & Marc Silva. The production runs at Stages Repertory Theatre tonight, November 18 - December 27, 2015.

SISTER'S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM: THE MYSTERY OF THE MAGI'S GOLD is the third installment to be released in the Catechism series, and this is the third time Stages has produced this highly successful holiday sequel. Stages also has produced Late Nite Catechism; Sister's Back: Late Nite Catechism 2; Late Nite Catechism 3: Till Death Do Us Part; Sister's Easter Catechism: Will My Bunny Go to Heaven?; and Late Nite Catechism Las Vegas: Sister Rolls the Dice!

Denise Fennell returns as "Sister" in this holiday mystery extravaganza! It's CSI goes to Bethlehem as Sister takes on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages: On the night of that famous holy birth, what happened to the Magi's gold? Forensic tools in hand, and assisted by a helpful flock of audience members, Sister hunts over manger and under camel hump in her relentless search for the culprit. Along the way, she gives her class a history lesson on the origin of nativity sets, provides line-by-line analysis of favorite Christmas carols, and creates a living nativity unlike any you've ever seen. With bundles of laughs, musical highlights, and wacky gifts galore, Sister's Christmas Catechism is just the ticket for the holidays!

DENISE (MARIE CHRISTINA) FENNELL is originally from Boston, MA, where she grew up in a very strict Italian Catholic neighborhood, often attending mass with her Grandma Bianca on a daily basis. Denise currently calls both Los Angeles and New York City home. Some may recognize Denise from Tony 'n Tina's Wedding, in which she frequently appears in the title role of Tina. Maripat Donovan discovered Denise as Tina in her white wedding dress, blue eye shadow and her hair sprayed so high it almost reached heaven. Maripat apparently saw something that led her to believe there was a nun lurking somewhere behind the gum chewing, wise-cracking bride. All kidding aside, Denise would like to thank Maripat for believing in her and for being patient while Denise took the time to believe in herself. It is with great honor that she trades her wedding dress in for a habit, and instead of Tony chooses to marry God.
