Sister’s Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold

Sister’s Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold is a holiday comedy that turns the Nativity story into a playful investigation. Sister takes on the long-standing mystery of what happened to the Magi’s gold, presenting the case with the energy of a CSI-style extravaganza while retelling the Christmas story in her own irreverent fashion.

The production invites audience participation, including the possibility that members of the audience may be cast as figures from the Nativity. A family member could become the Virgin Mary, while another audience member might be recruited to play the Ass.
