DUBUQUE, IOWA (May 13, 2026) — Late Nite Catechism, presented by Entertainment Events Inc, is an uproariously funny play that will take audience members back to their youth at 2PM, Sunday, June 28, in John and Alice Butler Hall, Heritage Center on the University of Dubuque campus.
Late Nite Catechism is part catechism class, part stand-up routine. During the interactive comedy, the irrepressible Sister teaches class to a roomful of “students” (the audience). Throughout the course of the class, the benevolent instructor rewards the “students” for correct answers with glow-in-the-dark rosaries and other nifty prizes. Naughty “students” may well find themselves on stage sitting in a corner reflecting on their actions. However, even the most reluctant “students” will be clamoring to get into this Sister’s class.
The New York Times calls Late Nite Catechism “interactive theater at its best and full of laughs!”
Late Nite Catechism, written by Vicki Quade and Maripat Donovan, made its debut May 28, 1993, at the Live Bait Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, and has since grossed over $100 million in box office receipts. It is one of the longest-running shows in Chicago and US theater history.
