Good movie? Bad movie? Condemned movie? Mother Superior knows the difference. Sunday School Cinema is written by Vicki Quade, the creator of the long-running hit comedy, Late Nite Catechism. In this comedy, Mother Superior takes over. She's been reviewing movies for the archdiocese under the name Sister Cinematica, and gives her own version of thumbs up and thumbs down, using her all-present ruler.
Says Quade, “SUNDAY SCHOOL CINEMA is topical and changes weekly as Mother Superior discusses current movies, and challenges them according to her unyielding ‘10 Commandments’ rule, as well as by her own special view of the world.”
Join REST and bring your friends to enjoy this performance, while helping REST to continue to provide the life-saving and life-changing services for homeless adults that have helped thousands leave homelessness behind for the past 31 years!
