'TIL DEATH DO US PART: LATE NITE CATECHISM 3 Brings Laughs To The Gracie Theatre For Valentine's Day

'Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3 is making its way to Husson University's Gracie Theatre on February 15, 2019 at 7:30 p.m. just in time for Valentine's Day. In this hilarious one-woman show, "Sister" offers up hilarious lessons on the sacraments of marriage and the last rites, including her own wacky version of The Newlywed Game. Sponsored by Bangor Savings Bank, this show is part of the Gracie's successful seventh season.

"'Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3 is the newest show in the Late Nite Catechism series and a great date night for valentines of all ages. The show is part stand-up, part improv and one-hundred-percent hilarious," says Jeri Misler, managing director of the Gracie Theatre.

Having written all of the plays, Maripat Donovan is considered the creative genius behind the Late Nite Catechism series. She originated the role of "Sister" and has toured internationally, receiving rave reviews for her work in Chicago, Boston, Providence, New York, Toronto, Philadelphia, Seattle, Portland, London and Dublin. Donovan won the Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Solo Performance in Los Angeles for her work on Late Nite Catechism. She was also nominated for the coveted Outer Critics Circle Award in New York for Outstanding Solo Performances.

Playing the role of "Sister Mary Christina" in 'Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3 at the Gracie Theatre will be Denise Fennell. She was first discovered by Maripat Donovan when she was appearing as "Tina" in the Off-Broadway production of Tony n' Tina's Wedding. Donovan trained Fennell personally for the Late Nite Catechism role. She is now a veteran of the series and has played to rave reviews across the US and Canada.

Fennell recently completed a run of Shear Madness at The Stages Repertory Theatre in Houston, Texas. She has also appeared in the Off-Broadway company of Shear Madness in New York City. Fennell is probably best known for her portrayal of "Sister" in the Late Nite Catechism series and in Jane Wagner's award-winning comedy The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe.
