Sister's Christmas Catechism
By Maripat Donovan with Jane Morris and Marc Silvia
It's "Forensic Files goes to Bethlehem" in this holiday mystery extravaganza, by the author of Late Nite Catchism 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 members, 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.
