Late Nite Catechism
2 p.m. at the Ormond Beach Performing Arts Center. Late Nite Catechism, written by Vicki Quade and Maripat Donovan, made its debut on May 28th, 1993, at the Live Bait Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, and since then has grossed over $100 million in box office receipts. It has been presented in over 410 cities around the world, has played six countries with over 3.5 million people in attendance. This performance is sponsored by the University Women of Flagler as a fundraiser for college scholarship for local young women. University Women of Flagler (UWF) is a 503(c)3 organization that has awarded 40 scholarships over the last ten years. Late Nite Catechism is an uproarious piece of theater that takes audience members back, sometimes nostalgically and sometimes fearfully, to the children they once were. The irrepressible Sister teaches an adult catechism class to a roomful of “students” (the audience). Over the course of the play, Sister goes from benevolent instructor, rewarding the “students” for correct answers with glow-in-the-dark rosaries and laminated saint cards, to authoritative drill sergeant. These abrupt mood swings are bound to strike a resonant chord with everyone who survived the ups and downs of going to school with an omniscient authoritarian at the helm. Late Nite Catechism, which was nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award in New York, and won the L.A. Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Lead Performance for Maripat Donovan. It is the longest running one woman show in Off-Broadway history and is such in the cities of Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, St. Louis, Scottsdale, New Orleans, and Los Angeles.
