Welcome to Los Angeles, California, where the weather is always nice, and the future looks bright — mostly. We visit the trendy Silver Lake hills of L.A. on a warm November evening, on the Day of the Dead. Calder is a promising writer/director, and his wife Abigail is an actor still waiting for her big break. An old school buddy of Calder’s visits, as does his agent, and Abigail’s friend Molly — who stops over to read Tarot cards. The evening weighs in on loyalty, principles, climate trauma, carbon footprints, the fear of having children, and the fate of humankind.

SISTER’S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM:
THE MYSTERY OF THE MAGI’S GOLD

November 29, 2019
Aronoff Center – Jarson-Kaplan Theater

[Cincinnati, OH] – The hysterically-funny Sister’s Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold makes a stop in Cincinnati to kick off the holiday season on Friday, November 29, 2019 at 7:30 PM at the Aronoff Center’s intimate Jarson-Kaplan Theater.

Tickets prices range from $37.75 to $51.75. (Prices subject to change. Applicable services fees may apply.) Tickets are on sale now at www.cincinnatiarts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office.  For group rates (10 or more), call (513) 977-4157.

It’s “CSI: Bethlehem” in this holiday mystery extravaganza from the author of Late Nite Catechism, as Sister takes on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages – whatever happened to the Magi’s gold? (“We know that Mary used the frankincense and myrrh as a sort of potpourri –  they were in a barn after all.”) Retelling the story of the nativity as only Sister can, this hilarious holiday production is bound to become a yearly classic. Employing her own scientific tools and assisted by a local choir, as well as a gaggle of audience members, Sister creates a living nativity unlike any you’ve ever seen. With gifts galore and bundles of laughs, Sister’s Christmas Catechism is sure to become the newest addition to your holiday traditions.
