Late Night Catechism is a dynamic two way street, with no doubt given
to the true direction.  If you're Catholic you should see this to diminish the
time you'll spend in PURGATORY. If you're not a Catholic this show
might get you to church and have you smiling on the way.  This classroom
allows soft drinks and beers (other drinks too...  ) for the audience (students ).
The audience is typically about half Catholics, the rest being Protestant,
Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Mormon, Hindu, and some others I may not know
the spelling of.   Late Night Catechism is an open run event which means you
can still have a chance to see it with your friends.  I had a chance to speak
with Vicki Quade, one of the writers of Late Night Catechism (the other writer
is Maripat Donovan), and Mary McHale, the Teacher-Nun-Leader of the class.

This show, which originated in Chicago and is being shown in other cities as
well, has been entertaining their audiences for nine years.  In that nine
years some $650,000.00 has been raised to assist older nuns in the area.

All the folks I had the pleasure to meet associated with this show had big
hearts, big smiles, and a lot of humor to share.

Ms. McHale  (Sister McHale if don't want any trouble...), the head Nun in
Chicago, did a show once on Rush Street for fifteen local Priests and
had a hard time getting into the venue because the doorman thought
she might have been a stripper dressed as a Nun.  He was set straight
immediately by Sister McHale and probably will be given extra time in
purgatory for just asking.  This is a fun show, and should not be missed.
