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  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.

The New York Times declared “Late Nite Catechism” speaks to an audience much broader than the membership of any one church.” The Catholic Register (Toronto) says, “The show appeals to Catholics and non-Catholics alike since ‘Sister’ clearly explains religious references in lighthearted ways while maintaining a serious tone that isn’t too preachy and far from being saccharine.”

NOTE: Florida Rep is offering “Late Night Catechism” as a special summer production. This play is not part of any subscription package.

Online sales close one hour before curtain; in person box office sales are available up to 5 minutes before curtain.
