The latest instalment of the long-running Late Nite Catechism comedy series, in which a lone nun in full habit runs the theatre like a parochial-school classroom and the audience are her pupils.

Audience participation is part of the show.

A holiday spin-off from the author of the Late Nite Catechism series, in which Sister, the parochial-school nun who treats the audience as her class, investigates a question she frames as a historical mystery: what became of the gold the Magi brought to Bethlehem?
