Sister's Christmas Catechism / Late Night Catechism - Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts - December 11, 2015

Starring Patti Hannon

Spontaneous, clever and outrageously fun, the record-breaking Late Nite Catechism has been running every season at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts since 2000! Ruling her classroom with a razor-sharp wit, Sister teaches her students – who happen to be the audience – everything she knows about sins and saints while doling out rewards and reprimands with lightning speed.

Each Late Nite performance is unique and will appeal to people of all ages and faiths.

Sister’s Christmas Catechism
The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold

In an unusually jolly mood, Sister, the tart-tongued, ruler-wielding nun, teaches her students the story of the Nativity and asks for their help to solve the greatest Christmas caper ever – who swiped the gold that those three wise men gave to Baby Jesus? Using the latest forensic technology and her uncanny ability to detect guilt, Sister creates an unforgettable living Nativity with her students to expose the culprit.

About the Star
Patti Hannon began her Sister habit in 1995, performing Late Nite Catechism in Chicago, then Boston and New York. In 2000 she came to Arizona to star in the production at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, where she has played the role of Sister ever since. Hannon was named “The Best Habit in Town” by Phoenix Magazine and earned an AriZoni Award for Late Nite Catechism’s longevity. Outside of the habit, she has been seen as Millie in The Bakers of Lakewood and as Woman in Woman and Girl at Space 55 in Phoenix. Hannon appeared as the late environmentalist Gertrude Divine Webster, one of the founders of the Desert Botanical Garden, throughout that organization’s 75th anniversary year. She also teaches adult acting and improvisation classes, and is a visiting artist at local schools.

“Patti Hannon is so natural in the role that you really do forget that you are at the theater.” – Phoenix.About.com
