“Late Nite Catechism” is a comedy play that turns the stage into an interactive classroom.
The Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. 2nd St, is hosting “Late Nite Catechism” at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 7.
Throughout the play, or “class,” the audience become students. Audience members can answer questions for the chance to win glow-in-the-dark rosaries and other prizes, but are at the risk of being sent to sit in a corner.
Jeanine Holcomb, marketing and communications director at the Egyptian Theatre, said attendees can expect the unexpected going into the play.
“Everyone is going to class so everyone in the audience is a student and she (the “irrepressible Sister”) rewards good students with prizes and little nifty items. But, if you’re a bad student, or if you show up even late to class, so if you show up after the show starts, you might end up in the dunce chair on stage, so (it’s) highly interactive,” Holcomb said.
The only performer on stage is the actress who plays the irrepressible Sister. Part of the play is a stand-up routine, according to the “Late Nite Catechism” website.
“I think the arts in itself is such an escapism to be able to go someplace it's going to make you laugh, make you forget about what's going on, you know maybe in your life especially as I know with many students it's a place to let go. Have a laugh. Get your kind of mood up and take care of your own being by being able to be entertained. This is the place to do it,” Holcomb said.
According to Holcomb, the play will be approximately two hours long.
“We always love having audiences laugh as a whole because you know, watching a movie or even seeing a comedian with if it's isolated, it just doesn't have that same effect as it does in a big space,” Holcomb said.
