California Musical Theatre Presents SISTER'S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM, 11/24

California Musical Theatre will present the one-woman interactive comedy "SISTER'S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM: The Mystery of the Magi's Gold" beginning November 24. The play will follow the currently running "Late Nite Catechism: 'Til Death Do Us Part" which closes November 22. Both productions star Nonie Newton-Breen as "Sister," the tough-talking nun who helps audience members relive their childhoods in Catholic school - even if they've never attended.

Written by Maripat Donovan with Marc Silvia and Jane Morris, "SISTER'S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM" tackles the question, "Whatever happened to the Three King's gold?" It's CSI: Bethlehem when sister invites her audience to be characters in a living nativity/crime scene. A new way to celebrate the holidays, local choirs will join Sister on stage with Christmas carols. Audiences are encouraged to bring cameras.

"SISTER'S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM: The Mystery of the Magi's Gold" stars Nonie Newton-Breen as Sister. For eight years Newton-Breen has appeared across the country in the "Catechism" plays. From a large Irish-Catholic family in Chicago, she herself attended Catholic school where she studied under the raised ruler of a Sister Regina Therese. Newton-Breen is a veteran of Chicago's famed Second City Theatre where she learned to "write on her feet." She toured clubs and colleges as part of an improvisation troupe and earned an Emmy Award for writing and performing as a part of a career that includes appearing on soaps and sitcoms and writing for various shows including "Candid Camera."
