FRANK SARRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY EDUCATION FOR ALL A message from Peggy Tseng, Library Director Friends of The Frank Sarris Public Library proudly present the professional production of Sister’s Christmas Catechism, The Mystery Peggy Tseng, of the Magi’s Gold, on Library Director Saturday, December 3, at Canon-McMillan High School Auditorium. Sister’s Christmas Catechism is described by the New York Times as interactive theater at its finest. It’s “CSI Bethlehem” in this holiday mystery extravaganza, from the author of Late Night Catechism, as Sister takes on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ageswhatever 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, 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 be the newest addition to your holiday traditions.
