SISTER WILL HAVE “NUN” OF THAT!
Sister is back in the classroom
in the hilarious show:
PUT THE NUNS IN CHARGE!
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the classroom, Sister returns in this spinoff of the nationally-acclaimed comedy phenomenon, LATE NITE CATECHISM.
Vicki Quade, whose hit comedy, Late Nite Catechism is one of the longest running comedies in Chicago's history, has another long-running hit: PUT THE NUNS IN CHARGE! (Listen to Radio Commercial!)
In 1993, Vicki Quade brought to life an idea that Chicago actress Maripat Donovan wanted to perform. Donovan was fascinated with the lives of the saints and wanted to do a standup comedy routine. She approached Quade to write a short skit for her.
Instead, Quade developed the idea and expanded it into the comedy wonder, Late Nite Catechism, now in its 15th year in Chicago, and a national and international hit, with productions in more than 150 cities.
If you thought Late Nite Catechism was funny when it took on Vatican 2, see what Sister has to say about behavior in our modern society! The Seven Deadly Sins have never been this funny.
Put the Nuns in Charge! is a funny refresher course in a modern look at the Golden Rule. Sister has her own opinions on just about everything, from the shade of your lipstick to the I-Pod in your pocket.
Where Late Nite Catechism creates a nostalgic look at Catholic upbringing, Put the Nuns in Charge! applies that upbringing to today’s modern problems.
In Sister’s world, everything relates to her upbringing in the Catholic faith. Instead of listening to modern music, Sister directs the class to look at the religious classics! She longs for the days of the May Queen and wonders what examples are being set by today’s celebrities.
PUT THE NUNS IN CHARGE! features Kathleen Puls Andrade, Elaine Carlson, Patricia Musker, and Lisa Braatz in the role of Sister.
“Schools and parishes throughout Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin have enjoyed LATE NITE CATECHISM and are already booking PUT THE NUNS IN CHARGE! as a way of raising much-needed money to balance their budgets,” says Quade. In addition, the shows are used to help raise retirement funds for Sisters. Over the past dozen years, more than $2 million has been raised and donated to various orders of nuns nationwide.
For her work raising awareness of the plight of retired Sisters, Vicki Quade received the Spirit of Benedict Award in 2003 from the Benedictine Sisters of Chicago, and, in 2005, she was given a Partners in Mission Award by the Sisters of the Living Word in Arlington Heights.
