The always-popular Late Nite Catechism series has been a nearly annual occurrence at City Theatre dating back to 2005. For almost all of those shows, Kimberly Richards has donned the habit and entertained her loyal audience of catechism students.
After having taught her countless students about the saints, venial sins, limbo, and more, Sister is now offering up hilarious lessons on the Sacraments of Marriage and the Last Rites, including her wacky version of the Newlywed Game. Classroom participation is a must, so bring your sweetie and sense of humor for a session with the country’s feistiest couples counselor!
“As we have made our return from the pandemic, one City Theatre constant had not yet been realized – and that was having Kimberly Richards bring her “Sister” back to Pittsburgh,” stated Managing Director James McNeel. “Late Nite Catechism is a mainstay for so many in our community, and its absence from our stage has been noted by the show’s and Sister Kim’s fans. We are thrilled to celebrate Valentine’s season with ‘Til Death Do Us Part.”
Richards was born in Green Tree at St. Clair Memorial Hospital and baptized at St. Margaret of Scotland; she grew up in Oakland, California, graduating from Holy Names High. She launched her versatile career over 40 years ago — actress, aerialist, choreographer, comedienne, dancer, director, and illusionist. Since 2001, Richards has regularly toured the continent starring as “Sister” in all seven hit installments of the one-woman Late Nite Catechism comedy series.
Following each performance, a collection is taken to support the retired nuns at Little Sisters of the Poor, with over $400,000 raised by audiences attending Late Nite Catechism.
‘Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism by Maripat Donovan, starring Kimberly Richards and features scenic design by Tony Ferrieri. Shamus Bonner will serve as the production stage manager.
