| Long Wharf Theatre News Release Steven Scarpa, Director of Communications 203-772-8255 / steven.scarpa@longwharf.org Date: October 22, 2009 Long Wharf Theatre Offers Chance To Perform in Sister's Christmas Catechism NEW HAVEN - Ever wanted to sing Christmas carols on stage? Long Wharf Theatre can make that holiday wish a reality during the run of the hit interactive comedy Sister’s Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold from Dec. 1 through Dec. 20. Long Wharf Theatre is looking for choirs of four people to sing at the top of show, and again in the second act. Choirs would need to be at the theatre an hour and a half before the show in order to rehearse prior to the performance. They will be allowed to choose three songs they want to sing, but will be asked to sing specific songs for most of the show. Choirs will be needed for most performances during the run. For more information, contact Production Assistant Meghan Kane at meghan.kane@longwharf.org or at 203-787-4284, ext. 286. It’s "Forensic Files” goes to Bethlehem in Sister’s Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold, a holiday mystery extravaganza by the author of the summer hit Late Nite Catechism. Sister takes on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages – whatever happened to the Magi’s gold? Retelling the story of the nativity, as only Sister can, employing her own scientific tools, and assisted by local choirs as well as a gaggle of audience members, Sister creates a living nativity unlike any ever seen.
