SCOTTSDALE – The “Late Nite Catechism” comedies have been a habit in Scottsdale for a record-breaking nine seasons! To celebrate this milestone, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts is bringing back the original “Late Nite Catechism” by popular demand for a limited summer engagement on Friday evenings at 8 p.m. starting June 12. With a newly updated script, “Late Nite Catechism III: ’Til Death Do Us Part” will also run throughout the summer on Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. All performances will take place in Scottsdale Center for the Performing Art’s intimate Stage 2 Theater.
Spontaneous, witty and fun, “Late Nite Catechism” is an interactive show starring AriZoni Award-winning actress Patti Hannon as tart-tongued Sister. Ruling her classroom with an iron fist, she teaches her students – who happen to be the audience – everything she knows about sins and saints while dolling out rewards and reprimands with lightning speed.
In the series’ latest class, “Late Nite Catechism III: ’Til Death Do Us Part,” Sister offers up even more, including the latest dogma fresh off the Web, some hilarious lessons on love and marriage and her own outrageous version of “The Newlywed Game.” Each “Late Nite” performance is unique and will appeal to people of all ages and faiths.
Single tickets are available for $36 from the SCPA website at www.scottsdaleperformingarts.org or the box office at 480-994-ARTS (2787).
Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts is located at 7380 E. Second St., Scottsdale.
