In 2019, the Gracie Theater presented ‘Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3. Based on the enthusiastic audience response to this production, the Gracie Theater decided to bring the first play in the series to Bangor on Saturday February 29, 2020 with two performances at 4.30 p.m. and 7.30 p.m. The show features all of Sister Mary Christina’s new lessons for her “Adult Catechism Class†that will resonate with Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
“This year’s Late Nite Catechism is the original show in the Late Nite Catechism series – the one that started it all. Although it differs from the ‘Til Death Do Us Part version that we performed last year, we have the same “sister”, brilliantly interpreted by the actress Denise Fennel. She was an audience favorite. Our customers wanted more and asked us to get it back, â€said Jeri Misler, General Manager of Gracie Theater.
Sponsored by Downeast Toyota, this comedy is part of the successful eighth season of The Gracie. Bangor Savings Bank sponsors the season.
Late Nite Catechism is a tumultuous play that brings viewers – sometimes with nostalgia (and sometimes with awe) back to the children they once were. The irrepressible “Sister†teaches a catechism class for adults to a room full of “students†(the audience).
Over the course of the play, “Sister” changes from a benevolent instructor, rewarding “students” for correct answers with glow-in-the-dark rosaries and laminated saint cards, to authoritative drill sergeant. These abrupt mood swings are sure to strike a chord with anyone who has survived the ups and downs of school with an all-knowing boss at the helm.
The Catholic Register (Toronto) said: “The show is aimed at both Catholics and non-Catholics alike since ‘Sister’ clearly explains religious references in a light manner while maintaining a serious tone that is not too serious. moralizing and far from being saccharine.
The New York Times declared in 1996: “The late catechism is aimed at a much larger audience than members of a single church.
