Ah, the joy of nuns with Irish brogues and knuckle-stinging rulers. Can we hear an 'Amen, sister' from any other poor souls who survived Catholic school and catechism class?
If you're a glutton for punishment (okay, and wanting to giggle at things that make you slightly uncomfortable in a funny grade school flashback kind of way) then you should most definitely hit a Late Nite Catechism performance at Stages Repertory Theater (3201 Allen Parkway).
It's a one-sister show that feeds off of audience participation and dusty catechism knowledge (which is duly rewarded with glow-in-the-dark rosaries and Holy cards). Skirt too short? Prepared to get your legs covered by a Kleenex. Chit chatting and sitting too close to your date? Prepare to be lectured on leaving enough room for the Holy Spirit.
The Catechism class, errr show, runs until September 30th November 17th - show dates have just been extended, you lucky heathen you. Tickets will cost you $30, but the price of laughing at your Catholic guilt complex with others? Priceless. It's a hard habit to break (pun intended).

Is that a tongue stud in that nun's mouth?
Heh, yah. It's not a real nun. It's a Flickr nun. Sister Mary Flickr.
I went during the second week! It's fabulous, very funny show - love the audience participation. Plus, you get a bit of a "warm fuzzy" opportunity at the end!
