Marcus Center Announces Last Show In SISTER'S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM Trilogy, Runs 12/1-13

The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts is thrilled to announce the last show in the "Sister's" Trilogy, Sister's Christmas Catechism - The Mystery of the Magi's Gold, at Vogel Hall from December 1-13, 2009. This short two-week engagement will star local favorite, Diana Carl Alioto.

It's "Forensic Files goes to Bethlehem" in this holiday mystery extravaganza, by the author of Late Nite Catechism and Late Nite Catechism 2, as Sister takes on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages-whatever happened to the Magi's gold? ("We know that Mary used the frankincense and myrrh as a sort of potpourri-they were in a barn after all.") Retelling the story of the nativity, as only Sister can, this hilarious holiday production is bound to become a yearly classic. Employing her own scientific tools, assisted by a local choir as well as a gaggle of audience member, Sister creates a living nativity unlike any you've ever seen. With gifts galore and bundles of laughs, Sister's Christmas Catechism is sure to become the newest addition to your holiday traditions.

Show times are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m., Friday evenings at 8:00 p.m., Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Prices start at $40 and vary depending on performance, seat location, and date of purchase.
